Feature Request - Visual Hex Color Code Preview in Android IDE

[Mohammad-Azizi]

Dear Android IDE Development Team,

I hope this message finds you well. As a passionate user of the Android IDE, I've been contemplating a feature that could significantly elevate the development experience.

I would like to propose the introduction of a visual color preview, accompanied by a color selection interface, when inputting hex color codes within the IDE. Specifically, when we enter a hex color code like #ffffff into the code editor, it would be immensely beneficial if the IDE could display a small color preview right beside the code. Furthermore, clicking on this preview should open a user-friendly color selection interface.

Here's why I believe this feature would be invaluable:

Enhanced Efficiency: This dual-functionality feature would expedite the design and debugging process. Developers could receive an immediate visual representation of the color, eliminating the need for manual translation and visualization. Moreover, the option to select colors via a UI would streamline color customization.

Error Reduction: By offering a quick visual confirmation of the color in use and a seamless method to modify it, this feature could significantly reduce errors related to incorrect color codes, ultimately saving developers time and effort.

User-Friendly Experience: Incorporating this visual color preview and selection interface would make the IDE even more intuitive and user-friendly, catering to both novice and seasoned developers. It would simplify the color customization process.

Accessibility: This enhancement would also benefit developers with visual impairments, providing a user-friendly interface for color selection.

I genuinely believe that implementing this comprehensive feature would be a remarkable addition to the Android IDE, greatly enhancing the development experience. I appreciate your consideration of this suggestion and eagerly await the possibility of seeing it integrated into future updates.

Thank you for your dedication to enhancing the Android development environment.

Warm regards,
Mohammad Azizi

This feature is a work in progress. I have already created a PR (Rosemoe/sora-editor#485) in the sora-editor repository to implement this specific feature. The feature will be available in the IDE as soon as the PR is merged.
