I have TextView for showing time. I want to use Android's DataBinding plugin.

For formatting time I am using DateUtils.formatDateTime(context, int, int) method which takes Context instance. Is it possible to get context include element? Or do I have to use old school way?

Thanks

...
android:text="@{yourModelHere.yourModelMethodHere(context)}"
