Android Studio IDE scripting documentation - android-studio

Where do I find information/documentation on Android Studio IDE Scripting?
The way I understand it, I can use ECMAScript to meddle with the IDE. I would like to able to search through the source code with regex using ECMAScript.

use intellij kotlin kt file in android studio

I have written a program using intellij and want to import the code into android studio but i can't find any tutorials that have this specifically.
I am only able to find using kotlin in andoid studio or convert from kotlin to java.
I know it will be easy and that I am not looking in the right places but could really do with a pointer, I have been trying to do it all day lol im starting to loose the will!
Thanks
Not sure if I understood your question correctly, but if you have a bunch of code files and wanna import your code into Android Studio, the easiest way is to just create a new Android Studio Kotlin project, copy your code files from your IntelliJ project to your new Android Studio project, then adjust the code for Android.
If you do it inside the programs instead of in the file explorer, it will even adjust the package names for you.
Here's what I mean exactly by inside the programs:
If you want to create an Android application with the code that you write in IntelliJ. You can create an app in Android Studio and paste the code in the right place(should be in onCreate method) and manage the way that you will show the result. Also you can create an Android application in IntelliJ with the Android plugin.

Alternative for Android Studio Theme Editor

As mentioned here, Google has disabled the Android Studio Theme Editor starting from version 3.3.
They have what seems like an alternative called Material Theme Editor, but it's only available for MacOS. Is anyone familiar with an alternative that works on Windows?

Configure android ndk for android studio code suggestion

I'm new to android NDK and just know how to use native code in an java project as in this tutorial: http://kn-gloryo.github.io/Build_NDK_AndroidStudio_detail/
But when writing in C++ the IDE features for code completion, suggestion and other stuff disappear, while in java those features work as usual.
I tried to import some ndk sample from google, they are all written in C++ instead of calling native code from JNI as I'm doing, and the projects support code completion.
Can anyone show me a way to configure Android Studio for code completion to work when developing with NDK and JNI?

Merge Intellij IDEs to have only one installed

This is a basic question.
I use Android Studio, AppCode, IntelliJ IDEA, PHPStorm and RubyMine.
Is there any way to merge all of those IDEs?
For example, IntelliJ IDEA with plugins for each type of development instead of having 5 IDEs that are basically the same.
Thanks.
Intellij IDEA Ultimate includes all the features available in PHPStorm and RubyMine (but you need installing some missing plugins from the repository). Same for Android Studio (https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2013/05/intellij-idea-and-android-studio-faq/). So you can just use Intellij IDEA for Ruby, PHP and Android development. AppCode, however, can't be replaced with IDEA

Android studio IDE scripting

I haven't seen this anywhere else, including in the Android studio help files.
In Android studio, under tools there is an option called 'IDE Scripting Console'. You then get to choose 'script engine' of either ECMAscript or Groovy. What is this used for? Do some power users script coding tasks in Android studio, and if so where could I find out more about this?
Cheers
Scripting console is a window in your IDE which allows users to specify commands to the IDE through a console.
For example if you use groovy it is possible to launch a Groovy console for Java projects.
Sample of IDE Scripting
Intellij IDE
Groovy InteractiveConsole
Based on example above I hope you will understand how to run in your Android Studio.
Thanks
