Use Custom Code Styles, Share with other Team Members and Auto Format with Shortcut

  • It's possible to have your own custom code styles, share them with other team members and use a shortcut to auto format the code in a file.
  • To create your own custom code style, go to: Preferences -> Editor -> Code Style
  • There are some general code style settings here. You can also select the language (Java for Android) and set the parameters as you see fit. There's a lot of settings.
  • Once you've done this, save your code style. This is just for safe keeping.

  • Once this is done, close the Code Style preferences dialog.
  • Now, verify that your code style settings have been saved in: .idea/codeStyleSettings.xml

  • Once your teammates have this file, they should also have the same settings.
  • Now, when editing a file, you can format the code by selecting:
  • Code -> Reformat Code
  • Shortcuts for Reformat Code (taken from this answer - see answer for details on resolving issues with shortcut in Ubuntu):

Win

Ctrl + Alt + L

Linux:

Ctrl + Shift + Alt + L

Mac:

Option + Command + L
  • When you perform a code reformat, a small dialog should popup informing you of the changes made. You can click "Show" in this dialog to bring up the "Reformat File Dialog".
