Listen to pycharm run/debug events, and android studio gradle tasks.

See com.android.tools.idea.project.AndroidProjectBuildNotifications

Thanks, which Android studio plugins/jars do I need to add to the classpath in order to use:

<depends>com.intellij.modules.androidstudio</depends>

That is part of Android plugin, see http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/plugin_structure/plugin_dependencies.html

@Yann Cebron
Yeah I know, I added almost all the jars in plugins/<pluginname>/lib and it's still not recognised.

Use

<depends>org.jetbrains.android</depends>

Still no luck

Well I cannot judge what "almost all the jars" means or not :)

I was hoping that you know which ones should be added. I'll try to add even more. These things really need a documentation.

android.jar is the necessary file. I'd recommend switching to Gradle setup to avoid all this manual hassle http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/getting_started.html

Thanks! that was it.
Is there a a listener for Pycharm's interpreter events?

You can implement com.intellij.execution.ExecutionListener and register on ExecutionManager.EXECUTION_TOPIC, then listen specifically for Python runners/specific configurations

So I've been searching, but I couldn't find any info about specific Python processes/ runners.

There's com.jetbrains.python.run.PythonRunner and com.jetbrains.python.run.PythonRunConfiguration (or super com.jetbrains.python.run.AbstractPythonRunConfiguration)

so I did this (plugin.xml):

<depends optional="true" config-file="python_config.xml">com.intellij.modules.python</depends>

(python_config.xml):

<idea-plugin>
    <project-components>
        <component>
            <implementation-class>PythonDrumroll</implementation-class>
        </component>
    </project-components>
</idea-plugin>

(PythonDrumroll):

class PythonDrumroll(private val project: Project) : Drumroll(project) {
    init {
        play("wow")
        messages.subscribe(ExecutionManager.EXECUTION_TOPIC, object : ExecutionListener {
            override fun processStarted(executorId: String, env: ExecutionEnvironment, handler: ProcessHandler) {
                super.processStarted(executorId, env, handler)

                println("hey kids!")
                if (env.runProfile is PythonRunner)
                    play("drumroll_faded")
            }
        })
    }
}

Drumroll:

open class Drumroll(private val project: Project) {

    enum class BuildState { Success, Error, Warning }

    protected val messages by lazy { project.messageBus.connect() }

    //...
}

But it doesn't work, I also tried `AbstractPythonRunConfiguration<*>` instead of `PythonRunner` but still no luck.
I tried added the `play("wow") in `init` and it didn't play, which made me suspect the component isn't loaded.

I have the same setup with android and it works fine:

class AndroidDrumroll(private val project: Project) : Drumroll(project) {

    init {
        AndroidProjectBuildNotifications.subscribe(project) { ctx ->
            //...
        }
    }
}

Are there any updates on this? I'm also trying to understand how to listen to PyCharm builds. I've tried

com.intellij.task.ProjectTaskListener
