title: How to start development of a plugin for Android Studio?
body: <p>So, I've read: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28713974/how-to-write-a-plugin-for-android-studio">How to write a plugin for Android Studio?</a> as well as the documentation for writing plugins for IntelliJ (although they seem to be quite out of date), and I'm still a little lost.</p>
  
  <p>Basically, what I'm trying to do is to get the following plugin source: <a href="https://github.com/winterDroid/android-drawable-importer-intellij-plugin" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/winterDroid/android-drawable-importer-intellij-plugin</a> to compile, so I can make a small addition to it. I've downloaded IntelliJ community edition, and I'm able to compile small IntelliJ plugins if I follow the above documentation, but when I try to compile the source for an Android Studio plugin, it tells me it can't find the import <code>org.jetbrains.android.facet.AndroidFacet;</code></p>
  
  <p>My thinking is that I've probably missed an SDK somewhere, but, for the life of me, I can't determine which additional SDK/library I need to import to get the Android-specific suite of classes.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone guide me in the right direction to get a plugin to build to use Android Studio? If it packages it as a zip file (rather than launching Android Studio with the plugin embedded), that's fine - I can manually copy over my .zip files to my Android Studio installation to test.</p>
