## What it is
CodeLocator is an Android debugging toolset consisting of an Android SDK and an Android Studio plugin that lets developers inspect and interact with a running app's UI. It shows the current view hierarchy, Activity and Fragment info, and enables jumping from a View to its code or XML layout location.

## Use cases
- inspect the view hierarchy of a running Android app
- jump from a View to its click handler or findViewById code
- edit View properties like visibility and text at runtime
- find which View is receiving touch events
- locate and install the latest APK from an Android Studio project
- quickly toggle layout bounds and overdraw visualization
- view current Activity and Fragment information while debugging

## When to choose
- you develop Android apps and need runtime UI inspection and code navigation
- you want to trace a UI element back to its source code or layout XML
- you debug touch handling or View state issues on device

## When to avoid
- you develop for iOS or non-Android platforms
- you need automated UI testing rather than interactive inspection
- your project has not migrated to AndroidX and you need maintained support-library integration
