Lottie-android: Request: add Android-Studio plugin, to preview Lottie Json files

Currently the only way to go through the animations files (in /res/raw/...) , is via the device.
Please allow to preview the files within the IDE itself.
Maybe also have a gallery view of them, similar to this plugin, which shows VectorDrawable files in a gallery style :

How come the Vector plugin succeeded?
It also handles vectors...
And how come Google succeeded showing VectorDrawables...

Please re-consider.
It's impossible to manage Lottie files this way, especially when we have a lot of them...

At the very least, make a plugin that I will tell it to show which image for each lottie file. An image shouldn't be a problem, right?

@AndroidDeveloperLB The canvas APIs in IntellJ don't render accurately enough. Most have serious rendering errors.
