Install Ultimate edition IntelliJ plugins in Android Studio

I have Ultimate edition of IntelliJ Idea w/ a valid licence. There is a very useful plugin only available in full edition named Database Tools and SQL support that allows the developer to browse and run queries on sqlite database stored in phone.

Now i need to use this plugin in Android Studio, looks like Android Studio is based on community edition and does not have this plugin built-in, it's not available in plugin repositories too.

Is there any way to use IntelliJ Idea plugins in android studio? Just copy and pasting files in plugins folder doesn't seem to work.

Plugins page screen shot

I installed Database Navigator plugin but it cannot connect to android device like IntelliJ does. It there an alternative plugin to Database Tools and SQL support or any way to config Database Navigator so it can access databases inside android applications installed on mobile devices?

As you stated, some plugins are only available in IntelliJ Ultimate, hence you cannot use them in IntelliJ Community, which Android Studio is based on. This is noted in the plugin.xml of the Database plugin:

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

That's why simply moving the plugin lib files won't help.

A solution would be to use both applications: Android Studio for coding and IntelliJ Ultimate to browse the phone database.
