不幸的是，我不能使用getApplication（）作为LifecycleOwner，因为android.app.Application似乎没有实现它。
为什么android.app.application不实现生命周期所有者？
我尝试使用getApplication（）作为LiveData的生命周期所有者的代码：

result.observe(getApplication(), ....);

等级：

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "XXXX"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = '1.8'
        targetCompatibility = '1.8'
    }

}

错误：

android.app.Application cannot be cast to androidx.lifecycle.LifecycleOwner
