Example project for this presentaton about Android Studio Templates.
The idea is to demonstrate the abilities of custom component templates in Android Studio.
In this project, there are some base classes for the presentation layer. The implementation does not really matter here, the only important thing is how the custom template for Android Studio can serve some needs of the average project where we have base classes and third-party solutions.

-
put template files to ANDROID_STUDIO_DIR\plugins\android\lib\templates

restart Android Studio
