title: LiveData Object keeps being null after getValue() is called
body: <p>I want to update a member variable of an object inside my Repository on a LiveData- Object. The problem is, that if I call the getValue() Method, I keep getting an NullPointerException, although the value does exist inside my Room- Library. </p>
  
  <p>My question now is, how do I get the value from the LiveData Object without calling the observe() Method? (I am not able to call the observe method inside my repository, cause that method wants me to enter a LifeCycleOwner- reference, which is not present inside my repository).</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get the value out of the LiveData- object?</p>
  
  <p>My architecture looks like that:
  ViewModel --> Repository --> Dao</p>
