Telescope is an Android Studio plugin designed to make finding drawables across all your modules simple and efficient.
Note: This plugin currently supports Apple Silicon devices only and is in an experimental stage.
Telescope has two search modes to help you find what you need:
- Fuzzy Search: A simple and fast way to locate drawables by name.
- AI-Powered Search (experimental): Context-aware search using OpenCLIP models.
This mode scans all modules, including nested ones, to find drawables based on fuzzy matching in their names. It provides more flexible results by accounting for minor typos or approximate matches.
The AI search is context-aware, so it can find relevant matches even with related terms, like finding ic_pencil when
searching for edit or update.
The plugin uses OpenCLIP-compatible models in the GGUF format for efficient and lightweight operation, specifically the
ViT-B/32 model with laion2B-s34B-b79K weights. For inference, it leverages clip.cpp through JNI Java bindings.
I got carried away and made a simplified web version, check it out at telescope.puntogris.com. It includes a terminal where you can see logs in real-time.
Don't let it fool you, this is the web version
The plugin isn’t published yet, but you can install it manually:
Download the latest .zip build from the releases page, or clone the repository and run the buildPlugin Gradle task to generate one.
Then, in Android Studio go to Settings > Plugins > Gear Icon > Install Plugin from Disk, and select the file
- Check if it's worth migrating to the way ResourceManager fetches resources
- Fix crash in clip.cpp when encoding text multiple times in a short amount of time
- Publish it
