Install the plugin from the JetBrains marketplace or build from source, then right-click in your editor to use the generate menu.
Android developers use special annotations to keep their code organized and bug-free. When you have a function that should only accept certain predefined values, like days of the week or specific status codes, you can use StringDef or IntDef annotations to enforce that. Instead of manually typing out all the boilerplate code these annotations require, this plugin does it for you automatically. The tool integrates directly into IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio, which are the programs Android developers use to write apps. Once installed, a developer can right-click in their code, open the standard "generate" context menu, and the plugin creates the annotation structure for them. This takes a tedious, error-prone manual task and turns it into a quick, single click. This tool is built for Android developers who want to clean up their code and catch mistakes early. For example, if a developer is building a media player and wants a function to only accept "PLAY," "PAUSE," or "STOP" as inputs, they would normally have to write out that annotation block by hand. With this plugin, they can just select their strings or integers and generate the entire setup instantly. The project is explicitly listed as a work in progress, so users should expect it to be a basic utility without a lot of polish. The README does not go into detail about specific edge cases, configuration options, or advanced features. It simply offers a straightforward way to automate a common Android development task.
