OK, Gradle!
IntelliJ/Android Studio Plugin for searching artifacts ids of popular Java libraries.
This plugin is in JetBrains Plugins Repository! Get it from here.
Use those for adding new dependencies easily to your build.gradle/build.gradle.kts files.
Retrofit - which one was it?
compile 'com.square.retrofit:retrofit2:2.9.0'
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.9.0'
Android Design library - which one was it?
compile 'androidx.material:1.2.1'
compile 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.1'
With this plugin, you won't have to remember it anymore nor open an external browser to search for it on the Internet.
Usage:
Find the OK, Gradle action with CTRL/CMD+SHIFT+A shortcut and type library's name that you are looking for in an input field.
To make your life even more easier, assign a shortcut to it. Personally, I prefer CMD+K - as in "OK!" (I don't use commit action in the IDE anyway).
You need to have an active Internet connection to be able to use this tool.
Would you like to automatically update your dependencies?

Roadmap (take it with a grain of salt)
- local storage for collecting info about most used artifacts (for sorting purposes)
- global online db for storing information about most used artifacts (for sorting purposes)
- settings panel for tweaking things
