AppCompatActivity not implementing LifecycleOwner

Question

I am using Android Support Library 26.1.0. These are the dependencies in app module -

implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:runtime:1.0.0"
implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:1.0.0-beta1"
implementation "android.arch.persistence.room:rxjava2:1.0.0-beta1"
implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:common-java8:1.0.0-beta1"
annotationProcessor "android.arch.lifecycle:compiler:1.0.0-beta1"

But when I am trying to use ViewModel like below -

mUserViewModel.getUsers().observe(this,
            (Observer<Resource<List<UserView>>>) listResource -> {
                if(listResource != null){
                    this.handleDataState(listResource.status, listResource.data, listResource.message);
                }
            });

It is showing error at this and the error message is Wrong first argument type Found: packagename.BrowseActivity, required: android.arch.lifecycle.LifecycleOwner. (Although support library version is 26.1+ which already implements LifecycleOwner)

I have also tried to implement LifecycleRegistryOwner which I found in this sample and this is also not working. Kindly suggest a solution and let me know if I am doing anything wrong.

Edit 1 - This is Activity class

import android.arch.lifecycle.Observer;
import android.arch.lifecycle.ViewModelProviders;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;

import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.app.R;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.app.mapper.UserMapper;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.app.model.UserModel;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.app.ui.widget.EmptyView;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.app.ui.widget.ErrorView;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.presentation.data.Resource;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.presentation.data.ResourceState;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.presentation.factory.ViewModelFactory;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.presentation.viewmodel.UserViewModel;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.presentation.vo.UserView;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import javax.inject.Inject;

import dagger.android.AndroidInjection;

public class BrowseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Inject
    UserAdapter mUserAdapter;
    @Inject
    UserMapper mUserMapper;
    @Inject
    ViewModelFactory mViewModelFactory;
    private UserViewModel mUserViewModel;

    private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
    private ProgressBar mProgressBar;
    private ErrorView mErrorView;
    private EmptyView mEmptyView;


   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       AndroidInjection.inject(this);
       setContentView(R.layout.activity_browse);
       mUserViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this, mViewModelFactory)
            .get(UserViewModel.class);

       mRecyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recycler_browse);
       mProgressBar = findViewById(R.id.progress);
       mEmptyView = findViewById(R.id.view_empty);
       mErrorView = findViewById(R.id.view_error);

       setupBrowseRecycler();
       setupViewListeners();
   }

    @Override
    protected void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        mUserViewModel.getUsers().observe(this,
            (Observer<Resource<List<UserView>>>) listResource -> {
                if(listResource != null){
                    this.handleDataState(listResource.status, listResource.data, listResource.message);
                }
            });
    }
    ....
}

This is ViewModel Class

import android.arch.lifecycle.LiveData;
import android.arch.lifecycle.MutableLiveData;
import android.arch.lifecycle.ViewModel;

import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.domain.interactor.GetUserList;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.domain.model.User;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.presentation.data.Resource;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.presentation.data.ResourceState;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.presentation.mapper.UserMapper;
import com.github.amitkma.boilerplate.presentation.vo.UserView;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import javax.inject.Inject;

import io.reactivex.subscribers.DisposableSubscriber;

public class UserViewModel extends ViewModel {

    private final GetUserList mGetUserList;
    private final UserMapper mUserMapper;

    @Inject
    public UserViewModel(GetUserList getUserList,
            UserMapper userMapper) {
        mGetUserList = getUserList;
        mUserMapper = userMapper;
        fetchUsers();
    }

    public void fetchUsers(){
        mUserMutableLiveData.postValue(new Resource(ResourceState.LOADING, null, null));
        mGetUserList.execute(new UserSubscriber(), null);
    }

    public LiveData<Resource<List<UserView>>> getUsers(){
        return mUserMutableLiveData;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCleared() {
        mGetUserList.dispose();
        super.onCleared();
    }

    private final MutableLiveData<Resource<List<UserView>>> mUserMutableLiveData =
        new MutableLiveData<>();

}

Same problem here, so I had to update my androidx.appcompat dependency, like below:

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0-alpha04'
