## What it is
A collection of Live Templates for Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA that expand short abbreviations into common Android code snippets like logging, findViewById, Toasts, and Parcelable boilerplate. The vanilla templates were merged into Android Studio 1.5, so this repository mainly serves as a reference for creating custom templates.

## Use cases
- speed up writing android logging code with shortcuts
- generate findViewById boilerplate quickly in android studio
- create fragment newInstance helpers with a template
- learn how to write custom live templates for intellij
- add toast and intent snippets to android studio

## When to choose
- you use an old Android Studio version before 1.5
- you want examples to base your own live templates on

## When to avoid
- you use Android Studio 1.5 or newer, which includes these templates by default
- you need actively maintained tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools, editor, boilerplate
- domain: android-tools, developer-tools, mobile-development
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: android-studio, live-templates, intellij-idea, code-snippets, productivity
