You are so correct! My apologies to all for omitting that critical
piece of information.

FTFY.

This is yet another example of the true cost of building on top of
a proprietary product.
a) you are at the mercy of the owner's priorities, agenda and
(sometimes poor) judgement
b) you are frequently placed on a "slippery slope" that forces
you to buy into the commercial product if you want to get "real"
work done
c) a strong open source ecosystem never materializes around the
tool, even if there is a "community edition", because the open
source developers know they will be marginalized
Daniele's point is technically correct. There are many other ways
to work around this problem, but that is missing the entire point
of an IDE. It is supposed to make things
fast/efficient/frictionless/natural for the programmer. IDEs are
supposed to enable and sustain high programmer velocity during
many longs days of coding.
As an example, SQLite is an important architectural component of
many Android apps. Examining the database contents frequently
during development is an important debugging and validation
actiity. Human eyes during initial development are always needed
to validate even the best test-first frameworks. It is a one-step
frictionless effort in Eclipse, using a free plug-in, which is
completely reliable and a pleasure to use.
BTW, I have been using AS on a fairly large/complex project for
about 4 months. I migrated the project from Eclipse to AS when
Google made it clear that they were not going to continue their
commitment to the Eclipse platform. Although I am a loyal
Google/Android soldier, I can tell you that:
- AS is less stable than Eclipse, at least for my large project/app
- debugging is not nearly as robust or reliable as Eclipse
- developing/debugging with an actual piece of hardware (beats the
pants off of any emulator) is 10x better in Eclipse
- there are dozens of UX/GUI characteristics that were elegantly
designed and implemented in Eclipse (to create/facilitate the
actual writing of Java code), that are either missing or just
downright destructive to programmer flow and productivity in AS
On the flip side, it is obvious that Google is putting in way more
effort into the Android-specific features of AS than they ever did
with Eclipse. It just turned out (thus far) to be a giant step
backward for those of us who actually write a lot of Java code
and/or build complex profession/expert tablet applications.
I'll reserve final judgement on AS until it is formally released
as a product. I know they still have a VERY long way to go.
Unfortunately, the IntelliJ/proprietary problem will never go
away. :(
Best...

I saw that back in October of last year InteliJ added Android
SQLite support to their Database Support plugin:

But that doesn't appear to be present in Android Studio (/as
of 0.4.3/).
I was wondering if there were plans for integrating this? It
would be fantastically useful to have 1 click access inside
the Android tab in AS to visually inspect your applications
