View model that exposes a method using @BindingAdapter to load an image given a url

ProfileViewModel.java

public class ProfileViewModel {

    public String getImageUrl() {
        // The URL will usually come from a model (i.e Profile)
        return "http://cdn.meme.am/instances/60677654.jpg";
    }

    @BindingAdapter({"bind:imageUrl"})
    public static void loadImage(ImageView view, String imageUrl) {
        Picasso.with(view.getContext())
                .load(imageUrl)
                .placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder)
                .into(view);
    }
}

app:imageUrl="@{viewModel.imageUrl}"
@BindingAdapter({"bind:imageUrl"})
