Answer 2

If you would like to pass an argument into the method like an @IdRes you can use

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

    <data>

        <import type="<package_name>.R" />
    </data>

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        app:load_image="@{R.drawable.image}" />
</layout>

Code

@BindingAdapter("load_image")
public static void loadImage(ImageView view, @IdRes int imageId) {
    //Logic
}

The problem is with all the attributes which do on have setters with same name. e.g. android:x wont work if setX() method is not there in that view likewise if we had setSrc() method on ImageView your code would have worked without custom binding adapter
