Androidpixel is a simple conversion tool that will be different resolution, as long as you have a size, other sizes can be drawn, of course, DP such units, can solve a part of the problem, but most need to fine-tune, then Androidpixel played a role. This tool came from a colleague from my last company told me.

Android Arsenal is mainly recommended for some popular Android open source projects on GitHub, and basically the most recent popular Android Open source project is here, and it also classifies different classes of libraries.

Codota

Codota is an Android code search tool, Codota has now included more than 7 million fine code instances; Detailed introduction Please see the article "Android development tool codota--search the best Android Code", and found good code snippets, You can collect them yourself.

Androidassetstudio

Android Asset Studio is an online production tool that can make Iocn,actionbar, point 9 diagrams, and so on, simple operations that greatly improve the efficiency of our development.

WiFi ADB

The WiFi ADB is a mobile app that connects computers and mobile phones via a wireless network (can go to Google Play to search for similar), and when we do the tests, we just open it on the phone, the computer just clicks on the command line, the adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555 computer can connect to the phone, You can debug and develop applications through wireless networks.

Jsonhandle

JSON Handle is a JSON-formatted content that is browsed and edited to display JSON documents in a tree-style format and can be edited in real time. In particular, we are debugging the API in the IDE, but the returned data is not formatted, it seems particularly difficult to see the value of that field, is basically not found. Using Jsonhandle, you can easily present JSON data in front of you.

Live tempates

Live Tempates is a small feature of the Code collection from Android Studio (IntelliJ idea). Let's be specific, we'll have some code hints on our hands, such as breaking into fori we can play with the next step, in addition to the system to provide some common templates, we can also customize. In Android Studio to open the settings, editor–>live temppates, you can see the system default, you can click on the top right corner of the Click + button to tap, there are some people on the network to share the template, we can also refer to.

. Ignore

We all know that in git you want to filter out some files that you don't want to commit, you can add the appropriate files to the. Gitignore, and. Gitignore the Android Studio plug-in chooses templates based on different languages, so you don't have to bother adding some files. But also has the automatic completion function, the filtering file does not duplicate the file name again. When we do the project, not all files are to be submitted, such as build folder, local configuration file, each module generated IML file, but every time we add,commit will accidentally add them up, and gitignore is to solve this pain point, If you don't want to submit a file, you can add it to the project when you create it and block out some common things.

Butterknife Zelezny

Butterknife is a framework for view annotations, which replaces Findviewbyid, which uses apt to generate code at compile time that has little impact on the efficiency of our development. The Butterknife Zelezny is Butterknife's Android Studio plug-in that automatically finds controls with IDs in the layout file, which you can customize to select the object of the annotation control and the Click event. While Butterknife is already handy, this plugin makes our code cleaner.

Gsonformat

Gsonformat is an Android studio plug-in that can format strings into Gson Model classes, similar to the Jsonschema2pojo we mentioned earlier, and Gsonformat follows Android Studio, We do not have to switch back and forth, also means that our efficiency is more efficient, before the trial has some small bugs, do not know now repaired no, we try to have problems can go to GitHub mention issue ah.

Classyshark

Classshary is a decompile tool, you can use this tool to open jar,apk,dex and other files, you can easily see the androidmanifest and project structure and registration, as well as the number of methods of the project, for us to refer to some companies to use the technology, This is especially convenient for use.

Grepcode

Grepcode is an online code preview site, in addition to reading Java,android source, he can read the source of Third-party Open-source projects, but also can read all historical versions, and sometimes fix bugs to see different versions of things, so it is very convenient.

Ideavim

Ideavim is a IntelliJ idea to implement Vim's plug-in. As a programmer, it must be familiar to vim, especially with Unix-like systems, the efficiency of Vim is not 1:30 stars, hands on the keyboard, almost without the use of the mouse, but also let you focus on writing code. Finally, I can be happy to be a keyboard hero.

Checkstyle-idea

Checkstyle-idea is a code-style plug-in, such as naming conventions, Javadoc, class design, and other aspects of code specifications and style of inspection, you can follow the Java code like Google Oracle Guide, Of course, you can also set the configuration file according to your own rules, thereby effectively constraining yourself to better follow code writing specifications.

Findbugs

Findbugs is a tool that analyzes code that might have hidden code. It will scan the project's source code, through some common rules to determine potential problems, such as performance, multithreading security and so on. And not only wrong, but also give you some advice for your reference. This is more likely to be used in Java and, of course, it can be used in Android, where both official and third parties have a lot of good tools to analyze the possible performance problems of the code.

Of course, in addition to the above tools, there are some very useful, and the use of very high frequency. For example, screenshots, video converted into GIF pictures, some simple screenshots, QQ can be fully competent, more complex can use FastStone to screenshot. Want to convert the video into GIF, we can use the online conversion tools on the network, but also very useful, today's sharing is here, and later found good development tools, will not share the time.
