The hint from Bayoudh led me in the right direction, but I'm posting this to put the pieces together. Below is a cardview that is clickable. Since my ViewModel holds no reference to the activity we have to pass the view in question as a parameter.

The android:onClick="@{(view) -> viewModel.onClick(view)}" statement takes the current view as a parameter so you can use it in the ViewModel to get context with view.getContext() as Bayoudh states.
