Does an app built with Architecture Components make it "MVVM" and if yes, which parts of the app relate to which layer of MVVM?

Question

I couldn't find any source that answers this question directly:

Are Android Architecture Components made to follow an MVVM architecture (if implemented properly)? And if yes, which part of the app (Activity/Fragment, ViewModel, repository, database, web service) relates to "Model" "View" and "ViewModel"? The ViewModel class obviously belongs to the ViewModel layer, but what about the rest?

And the model? Is it everything from the repository to the different data sources, like room and web services? — Florian Walther, Aug 21 '18 at 07:30

Your Activity or Fragment is your VIEW,particular activity/fragment viewmodel represents VIEWMODEL which contains all the business logic of your UI and Model/Repository represents MODEL which contains all the data related logics. You can manipulate data in model and can use Database,web services and Shared Preferences in the Model.
