Not able to set android:paddingLeft using Android Databinding library

Question

I am using Databinding library to update the views from view model object.

activity_main.xml

<layout xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

    <data>
        <variable
            name="viewModel"
            type="com.example.android.DataViewModel" />
    </data>

          <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
                android:id="@+id/btn"
                style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
                android:paddingLeft="@{viewModel.setPaddingLeft}"
                android:paddingRight="@{viewModel.setPaddingLeft}"/>


</layout>

ViewModel:

@BindingAdapter({"android:paddingLeft"})
public static void setPaddingLeft(View view, float paddingFloat) {
    int padding = context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.padding);
    view.setPadding(padding, view.getPaddingTop(), view.getPaddingRight(),
            view.getPaddingBottom());
}

I am getting below error:

Found data binding error(s):

[databinding] {"msg":"Could not resolve com.example.android.DataViewModel.setPaddingLeft as an accessor or listener on the attribute."
