Android Studio overlay plugin for Figma

This repository contains plugins for Android Studio and Figma to allow displaying a Figma drawing on top of a design layout preview in Android Studio.

The Android Studio plugin uses a new extension point (introduced in Android Studio 4.2) to provide an overlay image. The overlay images is sent over from the Figma plugin.

Note that the extension point could be used to write plugins for other overlay sources (eg from file system) too. But these two plugins only work with Figma.

After installing both the Android Studio plugin and the Figma plugin, you will see a new menu for overlays in a layout preview window. You can use that menu to interact with overlays from different overlay providers (in the case of this plugin, Figma overlays). Figma overlay demo
