How to make word wrap in android studio by default - android

When I write something on the android studio, the line goes on over the right screen. How do I turn on word soft wrap in android studio?

If you are on mac and want to soft wrap just the current active Editor, here is how to do it: -
On the menu bar
View -> Active Editor -> Soft-Wrap

Please goto "File->Settings->Editor->General" tab and check "Use soft wraps in editor". it will solve your problem.
Updates: As #ThePartyTurtle mentioned on the comment some versions of Android Studio specifically from v3.5.3 This option is available via
Android Studio->Preferences...->Editor->General

You go to Android Studio > Preferences > Editor > General > Soft Wraps
then you have to indicate what type of documents you want the soft wrap to be applied on. Be sure to separate each type with a semicolon.
example: *.md; *.txt; *.rst; *.adoc; *.dart; *.plist;
Image that complements the explanation of the menus

If u want to use soft wrap by default go through the following steps
step-1 : Click on view ( in Navigation bar )
step-2 : Choose Active Editor
step-3 : Click on Soft wrap
that's it ...

File>Settings>Editor>General

Android Studio Arctic Fox Solution
From the menu:
File > Settings > General
Tick the Soft-wrap these files checkbox.

File > Settings > General
Tick the "Soft-wrap these files:" checkbox, and write *.*
Apply > OK

Here's my 2 cents:
A quick way to toggle word-wraps:
Ctrl + Shit + A : (opens a search window with "Actions" tab enabled.)
Type Soft wrap
Press enter on the first search-result: View | Active Editor Soft-wrap
Cheers 🍻

If you are on mac: Android Studio -> Preferences -> Editor -> General -> Soft-wrap these files
If you are on Windows : Settings > Editor > General > Soft-wrap these files
To enable Soft-wrap, write the following code in the box in front of the checkbox
*.* to wrap all the files in the editor
*.<extension_of_file> to wrap files with specific extension an separated by semicolon

(intellij) format xml with tag-end part on new line

I'm using Android Studio, and layout xml indentation is auto-formatting in somewhat wrong way for me.
Instead of
<!-- case1: miss-diffs on git -->
<SomeXML
attr1="hello" >
</SomeXML>
or
<!-- case2: wrong end(?) indentation level -->
<SomeXML
attr1="world"
>
</SomeXML>
I'd like to format my xml as
<SomeXML
attr1="hello"
>
</SomeXML>
so that my git diff won't show any miss-diffs from case1,
and without wrong indentation level (case2) to confuse myself.
Are there any options in intellij for this?
Thanks in advance : )
Go to File -> Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> XML
Change the Scheme there to Default. Normally it doesn't restrict on what you are trying to do, unnless there is any defined settings.
On Android Studio 4.0.1:
Go to Settings (or Preferences on MaxOS) -> Editor -> Code Style -> XML -> "Other" Tab.
Check Keep line breaks.

Ctrl + Space Not Working Properly Android Studio

i am facing problem in android studio. In eclipse when i want to use class like Intent, then i write intent starting with lower case it give me suggestion box indicating class name Intent, but in android studio if i type intent starting with lower case it does not Provide Suggestion class name Intent.Thanks in advance.
In my case Ctrl + Space was overloaded by mac shortcuts. And even in the case, I disabled them, they conflict with Android Studio.
So, I gave them another keys and it solved the problem.
Go to the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Input Sources and use new keys for them.
The problem is that Android Studio has different key binding than Eclipse, but you can set the key binding to be the same as in eclipse in android studio settings. Also by default ctrl + space is case sensitive in Android studio, you need to turn that off too.
Move to File -> Settings -> Keymap and change keymaps settings to eclipse so that you can use the short cut keys like in eclipse.
You can set 'Case sensitive completion' to 'None' in IDE Settings > Editor > Code Completion.
That should do it :)
File --> Settings --> Editor --> General --> Code Completion --> Case sensitive completion --> None

Android studio format code won't auto break line

tempCanvas.drawArc(cx - mInnerCircleRadius, cy + mInnerCircleRadius,cy + mInnerCircleRadius,cy + mInnerCircleRadius);
For example, the above code is too long, so I want to break the line at every ,. Eclipse will do it but Android Studio won't break the line when I hit format code. Is there any method to do it?
In Android Studio (and probably any other IDE) you don't break (wrap) lines by , or any other character, you define a maximum line width and set the formatter to ensure the maximum line width is not exceeded.
You do that on File -> Settings on Windows, or in Preferences on Mac OS.
To do this in Android Studio go to
File > Settings > Editor > Code Style
and set Right margin (columns) to 120 (or the line width you want)
Now go to
File > Settings > Editor > Code Style > Java > Wrapping and Braces (tab)
and check the checkbox Ensure right margin in not exceeded
Apply the changes and press OK
Now in the editor, to format your code to that line width, press:
Code > Reformat Code...
Done
In Mac OS instead of File > Settings go to Preferences, follow the same steps.
Configure > Settings > Editor > 'Use soft wraps in editor'
Or right click on the divider where you can choose to show line numbers, and click 'Use soft wraps'
This won't break your code at your commas, but it will wrap your code so it's not too long to read.
On the latest Android Studio:
Goto File > Settings > Editor > Code style > Java > Wrapping and Braces
Change do not wrap to wrap if long for all the items
Now Select the portion of the text you want to format and press ctrl + Alt + L
File> Settings > Editor > Code Style > Kotlin > 'Set from...' - 'Predefined Style' - 'Kotlin style guide'
when you want to use predefined code style for Kotlin in Android Studio/Idea (general rules from Coding Conventions)
File -> Settings > Editor > Code Style.
Then select Wrap on typing CHECKBOX.
If you don't wanna wrap a line:
File -> Settings -> Editor -> Soft Wraps -> Uncheck Use soft wraps in editor
As a reminder to others visiting this question, you can also manually add line breaks by hitting enter after the commas or other appropriate places in the code. Android Studio will automatically indent it. This makes long lines more readable.
tempCanvas.drawArc(
cx - mInnerCircleRadius, // You can also add comments
cy + mInnerCircleRadius, // to different parts of a line
cy + mInnerCircleRadius, // this way.
cy + mInnerCircleRadius);
You can make it automatically for all files by
Editor -> General -> Soft-Wraps, check the Soft-wrap files and input needed filetype (for example *.java) in input field, now any new and even opened files will autowrap long strings. No any additional actions needed.

android studio ctrl + space opens documentation window

I have updated my Android Studio to the newest version, but now when I call the auto-completion/suggestions with CTRL+SPACE the suggestion box opens but the documentation window opens as well.
Has anyone experienced this and know how to disable the opening of the documentation window?
I'm using Android Studio 0.8.1 on OSX and have been experiencing the same irritating behavior.
The answer by #daniel-gabriel was not was I was looking for.
A better solution seems to be to go to Preferences > IDE Settings section > Editor > Code Completion (in AS 1.2.2 located in Preferences->Editor->General) and unticking the option Autopopup documentation in (ms):
Ctrl-Q toggles between doc window states (when using the default keymap).
Possible states are:
-Hidden
-Shown to the side of the auto-complete list
-Docked as one of the tabs
If you have a different keymap, you can search for this action in Settings -> Keymap. The action is called "Quick Doc".
For ubuntu 14.04 :
File > Settings > Editor > General > Code Completion
And unticking Autopopup Documentation will hide it.
For Windwos && Linux (ubuntu) :
File > Settings > Editor > General > Code Completion
For Mac :
Android Studio > Preferences > Editor > General > Code Completion
1. unChecked : AutoPopup documentation (in CodeCompletion)
2. unChecked : AutoPopup (in Parameter Info)
On Mac OSX, to restore the Documentation window to an auto-hide popup, toggle the popup window toolbar to checked state, from the popup windows gear icon, and then click "Restore Popup" icon in the documentation window toolbar.
I prefer the quicker solutions...
Press Ctrl + Space and let the "Documentation" window pop-up.
1) Click on the Settings icon and uncheck all the options except "Docked Mode".
2) Now push documentation window to the right, so as to make it invisible.
With this even though with press of "Ctrl + Space", internally command will pass
to open the Documentation Window but it will not be visible and interfere with the
workspace.
I hope that helps. Happy Coding...

Could not open the editor. Android XML Editor cannot process this input

I got this error whenever I tired to view previous version of XML file via SVN Team => Show History. How can I able to solve this problem?
Could not open the editor. Andriod XML Editor cannot process this input.
You can solve the problem by changing your Eclipse preferences: Window menu -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Associations; select *.xml, choose XML Editor and click "Default" button.
I have solved this problem, following steps worked for me -
Open Window > Preferences > General > Content Types
Select "Text"
Under "File associations"
Select *.xml
Click remove button on right side and then ok in bottom
