how to implement iTestContext listener without adding to method argument testng(from XML) for PDFBox utility - selenium-webdriver

Question

I am automating a salesforce application using Selenium TestNG. I am implementing a utility using apache PDFBox where i paste all my screenshots into a PDF to make client happy .
My logic is i create screenshots in each method with 1.png , 2.png etc until n.png and paste them in pdf using pdfbox methods.
The problem is my number of screenshots are variable so i implemented iTestContext where i set a variable counter to maximum number pass them to my after method where i retrieve the counter , and those number of screenshots are pasted- something like this
Class Login {
#Test
mymethod(ItestContext context){
commonfunctions.savescreenshot(1.png);
commonfunctions.savescreenshot(2.png);
commonfunctions.savescreenshot(n.png);
context.setAttribute("Counter", "n");
}
#AfterMethod
myaftermethod(){
String PATH = //Path of my test method
String MethodCounter = (String)context.getAttribute("Counter");
PDFUtility.addImagetoPDF(PATH,Integer.parseInt(MethodCounter) );
}
}
The problem is i have many methods that i need to implement and i dont want ITestContext listener as argument to each method.Can i pass it in xml file and use it for all methods?
Hope i have provided all details

If you need to get hold of the current ITestContext object (which is a representation of the current <test> tag being executed), you don't need to pass it as a parameter to your #Test method.
You can get access to it from within a #Test annotated test method via something like this:
org.testng.ITestContext context =
org.testng.Reporter.getCurrentTestResult().getTestContext();
This way you dont need to pass the org.testng.ITestContext object as a parameter to your #Test method.
Can i pass it in xml file and use it for all methods?
No you cannot pass the ITestContext object via the xml file.
