How to access .AndroidStudio folder path from AndroidStudio Plugin?

Answered

From my plugin, I want to navigate to a folder where .AndroidStudio folder is installed. As far as I know, this path varies for different users and OS. I need to get this .AndroidStudio folder dynamically from the code.

 

Currently I am using direct path manually like "C:\users\p\.AndroidStudio3.6\plugins\......". I want to make it user independent. I tried using..

idea.plugins.path

But, it looks like my ide can't recognize this. I am beginner to Intellij plugin development. 

PathManager.getPluginsPath() worked for now. But I am not sure if android studio build version gets updated, it'll still work or not.

Using com.intellij.openapi.application.PathManager to obtain config/plugin/... folders is correct approach, as it will use all mechanisms for overriding defaults when user chooses to.
