My use case: I’d like to write a task/script to generate screenshots of project’s custom Views/ViewGroups for documentation purposes, without running the app or manually capturing Android Studio’s preview.
Is Paparazzi a tool that would potentially help me do that? If not, is there an alternative?

and

10/02/2019, 5:53 PMIt doesn't require full Android toolchain to render widgets, unlike the libraries mentioned above
