Scaling developer experience: How we improved Android Studio in a large monorepo

What this post added

Introduced a custom Focus plugin for Android Studio that addresses slow IDE sync times in a large monorepo. This plugin leverages a pre-computed dependency graph generated during the Gradle-to-Bazel migration to allow developers to focus on specific modules and their dependencies, rather than syncing the entire repository. A Gradle plugin intercepts `include` calls to selectively include modules, and an Android Studio plugin provides a UI for module selection, dependency visibility, and automatic injection of Gradle properties for sync and task execution.
