What is the best way to find a version of an androidx library, such as NavigationComponent, ViewModel, and so on?

Question

About an hour trying to find the latest version of the navigation component library, but without success, so I wonder how I can quickly find the version of the package I need?

Thank you.

If you have read the documentation, it says:

belongs to Maven artifact android.arch.lifecycle:viewmodel:1.1.1

So searching : android.arch.lifecycle:viewmodel on the Google will show mvnrepository link which describes the versions and etc.

There is however a note section:

Note: There is a new version for this artifact

New Version 1.1.1

It was just an example which explains which version is the latest version for this library-dependency.

_{Note that this is also the same for other libaries-dependencies on jitpack or other repositories}
