我收到以下错误
我正在使用Android架构组件，并试图示例化视图模型和观察数据从LiveData。但我在这里卡住了，请帮助我解决这个问题：

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.arch.lifecycle.LiveData.observe(android.arch.lifecycle.LifecycleOwner, android.arch.lifecycle.Observer)' on a null object reference

我的片段是这样的：调用getCompany（）方法时，发生获取和NullPoint异常错误

public class CompanyFragment extends LifecycleFragment {
    private CompanyViewModel companyViewModel;

    @Override
    public void onActivityCreated(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
        companyViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(CompanyViewModel.class);
        companyViewModel.initData();
        companyViewModel.getCompany().observe(this, new Observer<CompanyEntity>() {
            @Override
            public void onChanged(@Nullable CompanyEntity companyEntity) {

            }
        });
    }
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater,
                             @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_company, container, false);
    }
}

我的ViewModel类是这样的：

public class CompanyViewModel extends ViewModel {
    private LiveData<CompanyEntity> companyEntityLiveData;
    private CompanyRepository companyRepo;

    public CompanyViewModel() {}

    public CompanyViewModel(CompanyRepository companyRepo){
        this.companyRepo = companyRepo;
    }

    public void initData(){
        companyEntityLiveData = companyRepo.getCompany();
    }

    public LiveData<CompanyEntity> getCompany() {
        return companyEntityLiveData;
    }

}

错误位于此行：

companyViewModel.getCompany().observe(this, new Observer<CompanyEntity>() {
        @Override
        public void onChanged(@Nullable CompanyEntity companyEntity) {

        }
    });

这是我的CompanyRepository类：

public class CompanyRepository {
private WebService webService;

    public CompanyRepository(){

    }

    public LiveData<CompanyEntity> getCompany() {
        final MutableLiveData<CompanyEntity> data = new MutableLiveData<>();

        webService.getCompany().enqueue(new Callback<CompanyEntity>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<CompanyEntity> call, Response<CompanyEntity> response) {
                data.setValue(response.body());
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Call<CompanyEntity> call, Throwable t) {

            }
        });

        return data;
    }
}
