## What it is
An Android Studio/IntelliJ plugin that visually groups resource files into virtual folders in the Project structure view based on filename prefixes (e.g., text before an underscore). It does not move or create any files on disk, only changes how the project tree is displayed.

## Use cases
- group android layout files by feature prefix in project view
- organize res/layout files into virtual folders without moving them
- clean up flat resource folders in android studio
- hide filename prefixes in grouped project tree
- customize grouping pattern with regular expression

## When to choose
- you have many layout or resource files sharing feature prefixes like chat_activity.xml, chat_toolbar.xml
- you want visual grouping without physically moving files
- you use the Project structure view (not Android view) in Android Studio

## When to avoid
- you rely on the Android project view, which the plugin cannot modify
- you need an actively maintained plugin for recent Android Studio versions (last release 2015)
- you want files actually moved into real folders on disk

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin

- function: developer-tools, file-system
- domain: android-tools, developer-tools, mobile-development
