Plug and Play: Power Up DevX with Android Studio Plugins
summary
Plugin uses the IntelliJ Platform SDK, PSI and Juul (Compose) to add a new compose-based wizard for opinionated subprojects and file templates, an announcements tool window that reads timestamped markdown, and a focus toolbar picker that calls an internal focus script to restrict Gradle to ~600–700 → ~200 modules. It adds a reference contributor linking experiment IDs and Jira to the web UI, a gutter action to deploy experiments via ADB, DI graph analysis to generate sanitized sample app components, and an intention migration that succeeds ~99% for 350 legacy screens.
