Fragment lose data from ViewModel after recreating view

Imagine that you have 2 fragments connected to one (or more) viewModel(s) and inside of activity you'll switch between them. Once you open fragment, viewModel works as expected, so I start listening for changes from onCreate method, code example:

 viewModel =  new ViewModelProvider(requireActivity(), new InventoryTasksFactory()).get(InventoryTasksViewModel.class);
    viewModel.inventoryTasksResponse().observe(this, new Observer<Response<List<InventoryTask>>>() {
        @Override
        public void onChanged(Response<List<InventoryTask>> listResponse) {
            handleResponse(listResponse);
        }
    });

But when you switching to another fragment and going back, fragment becomes blank. I understand that fragment listening changes inside of viewModel, and you should manually getting value from viewModel and I get value from viewModel inside of onCreateView method, code example:

 Response<List<InventoryTask>> inventory = viewModel.inventoryTasksResponse().getValue();
    if (inventory!=null){
        handleResponse(inventory);
    }

Problem is that Response has 3 states: Running, Success, Error, and depends on those states view is updating. So, in first fragment opening, view updating twice and it leads to skipping frames and display blinking.

I was thinking about keeping data inside of fragment, but I want to avoid data duplicating. Besides of that, in case of sharedViewModel, you'll get issues about updating data inside of fragment!

Please, help me!

Observing your data from onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) might work out.
