## Android Studio support for JCEF

Qodo Plugin uses JCEF (Java Chromium Embedded Framework) to create a webview component in the plugin's tool window. By default, most IntelliJ-based IDEs come with a boot runtime that includes JCEF. However, Android Studio (and some other versions of IntelliJ-based IDEs) utilize a boot runtime lacking JCEF, which prevents the plugin from loading in these environments.

Also in some cases JCEF could persist but not be initialized.

To address this issue:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Navigate to the "Help" -> "Find Action..." and find (type) "Registry". Here disable `ide.browser.jcef.sandbox.enable` option.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Navigate to the "Help" -> "Find Action..." and find (type) "Choose Boot Runtime for the IDE" dialog. Here, you can select a boot runtime equipped with JCEF.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Restart the IDE.
  </Step>
</Steps>
