I did something like this:

create an abstract class that extends AndroidViewModel which gives you access to the application context:

abstract class BaseViewModel(application: Application) : AndroidViewModel(application), CoroutineScope {

    private val job = Job()

    override val coroutineContext: CoroutineContext
        get() = job + Dispatchers.Main

    override fun onCleared() {
        super.onCleared()
        job.cancel()
    }
}

Now, create your view model by extending the BaseViewModel class and you will have access to the application context

class AdminViewModel(application: Application) : BaseViewModel(application) {
    .....
}

Now you always have access to a Context that you can use to get access to resources.
