What it is
An Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA plugin that replaces the file icon of every drawable in the Project View with a rendered preview, so the right asset is a glance away. It started as a fork of mistamek/drawable-preview, and I maintain this version. 7k+ downloads on the JetBrains Marketplace.
What I built
- Previews in the Project View
Rendered thumbnails for XML, SVG, PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF and 9-patch drawables, in Android and Compose Multiplatform resource folders.
- Preview popup
A right-click popup with backgrounds, adaptive-icon mask shapes, selector states, density variants and a colour palette.
- Gutter icons
The drawable behind R.drawable.foo and Res.drawable.foo, shown beside the line in the editor.
- Resource hygiene
A Find Drawable Usages action and an inspection that flags unused drawable resources.
