Use Gradle Version Catalogs if present
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In a large project which makes use of version catalogs, it would be ideal if instead of suggestions like "add implementation 'androidx.activity:activity:1.4.0'" the plugin was able to resolve the dependency name from the gradle version catalog and instead report "add implementation libs.androidx.activity".
Describe the solution you'd like
If there is a version catalog present, instead of reporting the raw dependency, look for a match in the catalog's items. There are methods off VersionCatalog
which might be useful here.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternative would be not doing this, which is reasonable - and perhaps there is not the API support from Gradle itself to do this reverse lookup. It'd be unfortunate though, as this lookup would make the suggestions and automatic fixes much more usable for projects using version catalogs.
