Supercharge Android Studio: Developing Your First Plugin
summary
Explains how to build an Android Studio/IntelliJ plugin using the plugin XML, extensions, services, actions and listeners, and the PSI for code inspection, with concrete code paths: use editor notification provider plus an action to show a top notification and a “convert” button when a modified Java file is opened, use FileStatusManager to check edits, collect debug metrics (May: 44% physical vs 56% emulator sessions), run and test with Gradle’s runIDE, and build UIs with the property graph and Kotlin UI DSL.
