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:
- Partial Match 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 partial matches in their names.
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 release version from the repo
- Clone the repo and run the
buildPlugingradle task to generate a .zip file
Then, in Android Studio go to Settings > Plugins > Gear Icon > Install Plugin from Disk, and select the .zip 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
