IntelliJ should support android workspaces

See original GitHub issue

IntelliJ (at least Ultimate) has pretty good Android support. Using it with a workspace_type set to java disables this integration, making it impossible to open e.g. the logcat window.

Is there any reason why IntelliJ doesn’t support android as a workspace_type?

I’d like to chime in and add a few more use cases for supporting android workspace in IntelliJ:

Android Studio stable releases are based on approximately year lagging IntelliJ version
Gateway/remote dev requires IntelliJ Ulitmate, thus will not support AS

A Gradle Android project in IntelliJ along with the Android plugin has almost feature parity with Android Studio, it would be great if we could get into a similar state with Bazel.

I’d expect that a lot of classes would need to be moved/changed, which would also affect our internal usages of these classes. So, this wouldn’t be a PR we could easily merge and I don’t see us having the resources to do the necessary internal changes.
