DataBinding templates for Android Studio?

Question

I've decided to use DataBinding library for my Android project. Are there any plugins/code templates available to install into Android Studio to get new Activity / Fragment etc added using Android Studio's wizard auto generated code compatible with DataBinding? I need to create models/presenters/variables in xml every time, can I get them to be generated automatically?
