Best MVVM handling for functions that require context or activity?

Question

So I have a fragment and a viewModel and I'm trying to keep it clean as much as possible. What is the best way to handle functions that require context and coroutine like data store? Or should it stay in the fragment class?

class LanguageFragment: Fragment() {
  private val viewModel: LanguageViewModel by viewModels()
  private val userDataStore = UserDataStore

  override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
    subscribeForUI()
  }

  fun subscribeUI(){
     viewModel.actionRequest.observe(viewLifecycleOwner) { action ->
        when (action) {            
        LanguageViewModel.LanguageActions.Save ->{

                lifecycleScope.launch {
                    userDataStore.saveStringData(
                        requireContext(),
                        DataStoreKeys.SELECTED_LANGUAGE,
                        selectedLanguage
                    )
                    (requireActivity() as MainActivity).setLanguage(selectedLanguage)
                    recreate(requireActivity())
                }

        }
    }
 }

ViewModel:

class LanguageViewModel: ViewModel() {
  private val _actionRequest = SingleLiveEvent<LanguageActions>()
  val actionRequest: LiveData<LanguageActions> = _actionRequest

  fun saveAction() = _actionRequest.setValue(LanguageActions.Save)

  sealed class LanguageActions{
     object Save: LanguageActions()
   }
  }

If you ever find a situation where you need a context inside viewModel (situations like this needs to be avoided as much as possible), use AndroidViewModel.

https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/lifecycle/AndroidViewModel

You'll have Application reference, where you can get context.
