Recommend several useful Android Studio plugins for you
1. CodeGlance (code panorama)
Similar to Sublime or Xcode, this plugin embeds a code mini-map in your editor. The scrollbar will also be slightly larger. CodeGlance previews the code schema of the file, allowing you to quickly navigate to the desired section.
2. Rainbow Brackets
Nested parentheses and parentheses can be a hassle for programmers, especially when some are missing. They can be a real headache in code reviews. This plugin adds a lovely rainbow of colors to parentheses, square brackets and braces. It's a lifesaver for developers just getting started, or those who find themselves stuck in large chunks of code.
In addition to Java and Kotlin, this plugin supports more than a dozen other languages such as Objective-C, Scala, Python, HTML, SQL, and more.
3. ADB Wifi
Unlike iOS developers, Android developers often have to ensure that the USB connection is not disconnected during device debugging. While there is a set of ADB shell commands to establish a connection over WIFI, it is much faster to use the GUI shortcuts. Just install the ADB Wifi plugin, make sure your host device and phone are connected to the same network, then go to "Tools" → "android" → "ADB WIFI" → "ADB USB to WIFI" to start connecting - now you can connect without Run the application with a USB connection.
4. Atom One Dark Theme
The recommended Atom One Dark theme for modern IntelliJ IDEA, beautifies the way of use through plugins.
5. Material UI Theme
Android Studio has a Dracula theme for dark mode lovers. But sometimes, it’s nice to change things up a bit, and the Material UI Theme plugin is designed for that. The plugin offers an impressive collection of theme palettes, supports most programming languages, and also includes material icons, padding, and many customization options.
6. JSON To Kotlin Class
Using this plugin, converting JSON strings to Kotlin data classes will be much faster. Additionally, it supports:
- Annotations for various JSON libraries, including Gson, Jackson, Fastjson, Moshi, LoganSquare, etc.
- Initializes properties and allows them to have default values and be nullable.
- Change property names to camelCase and generate inner or separate classes.
- Load JSON from a local file/HTTP URL, provided the JSON string is valid.
7. Kotlin Fill Class
It is often necessary to quickly create a Kotlin class with default properties. This IntelliJ plugin is designed for exactly that. It provides you with intent actions for empty constructors and functions, letting you quickly initialize parameters.
8. Clear Cache Plugin
Normally, when developers need to clear the cache, they have to traverse the .gradle directory. This is time consuming. You can create a Gradle script to speed up the process, but why reinvent the wheel?
By using the Clear Cache plugin, we can retrieve all packages with a given prefix and delete those that are no longer needed. Here is a demo:
9. Material Design Icon Generator
This plugin helps you add Material Design icons in your Android applications. Importing assets, specifying colors, sizes and densities is easy.
