Как правильно использовать Dagger2 с новыми компонентами архитектуры Android

Я пытаюсь использовать новые компоненты архитектуры, но я все еще новичок в кинжале, и мне чего-то не хватает.

С приведенным ниже кодом я получаю NullPointerException, не могу найти, где. Также, если есть что-то еще, что мне нужно исправить или улучшить, пожалуйста, предложите.

КОД: ViewModel

public class PostsVM extends ViewModel {
    private LiveData<StoryPost> post;
    private Repository          repository;

    @Inject
    public PostsVM(Repository repository) {
        this.repository = repository;
    }

    public void init() {
        if (this.post != null) {
            return;
        }
        post = repository.getPosts();
    }

    public LiveData<StoryPost> getPost() {
        return post;
    }
}

Репозиторий

@Singleton
public class Repository {
    private final MutableLiveData<StoryPost> data = new MutableLiveData<>();

    public LiveData<StoryPost> getPosts() {
        //
        new GetUser(post.getUid()) {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(@NonNull User user) {
                // this is where I setValue//
                data.setValue(post);
        }

        @Override
        public void onError() {

        }

        @Override
        public void userNotFound() {

        }
    };
    return data;
    }
}

Фабрика синглтонов

@Singleton
public class ViewModelFactory implements ViewModelProvider.Factory {
private final Map<Class<? extends ViewModel>, Provider<ViewModel>> creators;

@Inject
public ViewModelFactory(Map<Class<? extends ViewModel>, Provider<ViewModel>> creators) {
    this.creators = creators;
}

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Override
public <T extends ViewModel> T create(Class<T> modelClass) {
    Provider<? extends ViewModel> creator = creators.get(modelClass);
    if (creator == null) {
        for (Map.Entry<Class<? extends ViewModel>, Provider<ViewModel>> entry : creators.entrySet()) {
            if (modelClass.isAssignableFrom(entry.getKey())) {
                creator = entry.getValue();
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    if (creator == null) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("unknown model class " + modelClass);
    }
    try {
        return (T) creator.get();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
}

ДАО

@Dao
public interface PostDao {
    @Query("SELECT * FROM posts ORDER by time DESC")
    LiveData<List<StoryPost>> getAll();

    @Query("SELECT * FROM posts WHERE id = :id")
    LiveData<List<StoryPost>> getPost(String id);

    @Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
    @NonNull
    void insert(StoryPost... posts);

    @Delete
    void delete(StoryPost post);

    @Update
    void update(StoryPost post);
}

Затем в MainActivity:

@Inject public ViewModelFactory factory;
//...
//*onCreate*

PostsVM model = ViewModelProviders.of(this, factory).get(PostsVM.class);
model.init();
final Observer<StoryPost> observer = post -> storyAdapter.insert(post);
model.getPost().observe(this, observer);
