Mastering AOSP Development with Android Studio for Platform (ASfP)
summary
ASfP reads Android.bp via a Soong-IDE Bridge to build a lightweight project model for the hundreds of AOSP repositories, not Gradle, and it limits indexing with .asfp.project scopes so only selected modules are indexed. It enables cross-language navigation from HAL AIDL into C++ and Rust, supports Kotlin Multiplatform for shared system logic, runs platform tests with atest inside the IDE, attaches debuggers to system_server, and uses Android Cuttlefish VMs for fast device-free validation; Linux x86_64 only.
