i'm have a small problem with my android studio IDE, i've made some changes but don't remember exactly where i did made this change in the settings, the problem is that my xml code is always folded, and i want to know how i can change it to be unfolded by default as it should be.
Preferences > Editor > General > Code Folding > XML > XML tags: disable
For Android Studio 4.0 or above
Goto Settings or Press (Ctrl + Alt + S)
And Navigate to Editor = > Code Folding
And uncheck the option XML tags
Recently I set my line length limit to 100 or 120 and I also enabled an option that will wrap the code that exceeded those limits to the next line, whenever I clicked Code Format.
Now I want to disable that wrap and do it manually, but I don't know where that setting was.
In Android studio go to
Preferences > Editor > Code Style > Java > Wrapping and Braces > Keep
when reformatting and uncheck the checkbox Line Breaks
Go to File->Settings->Editor->Code Style
There you'll find the two options "Right margin (columns)" and "Wrap when typing reaches right margin".
When I open a Java file in Android Studio, the code editor automatically jumps to the last position my cursor was at when I closed the file. Is there a way to disable this 'feature'? I just simply want to go to the top of the file when I open a file...
It's Alt + Ctrl + Right/Left arrow.
You can change these shortcuts under:
File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > Keymap > Main menu > Navigate > Back/Forward.
The same question was marked as "duplicate" even though it obviously was not a duplicate. At least it should be obvious to anyone who is familiar with configuring an editor. When you want to change the background color, you aren't talking about changing the whole theme, you are talking about changing the background color.
Is there a way to change only the background color in Android Studio editor?
Sorry, but I believe you all have this one wrong. To change the background of the editor goto File, Settings, Editor, Colors & Fonts and select General. You'll see an item called "Default text". On the right of the window you will see a checkbox for background. Click in the color window and choose whichever color you prefer. Now the entire editor window will show that color as the background.
go to : Android Studio > Preferences > Editor > Colors & Fonts > General
In Android Studio 3.2.1 Windows (latest version as of today - Nov 2, 2018), go to
File > Settings > Editor > Color scheme > General > Text-Default text. One can change foreground and background colors using the panel on the right.
One can change the bottom logcat panel colors similarly - go to
File > Settings > Editor > Color Scheme > Console Colors > Console (or log Console)
Yes it is. Open Settings (Preferences on a Mac) and under IDE Settings expand Editor, Colors & Fonts and select General. You'll see Background in a menu on the left side. Click on the checkbox next to it if it's not ticked already and then double click on the square filled with current background color to get the color picker.

Android Studio 4.1.2 on Mac
File -> Preferences -> Editor -> Color Scheme -> General -> Text -> Default Text
None of the Answers above have correct info for Windows Android Studio 3.1.2.
On Mac, apparently this works: go to Android Studio > Preferences > Editor > Colors & Fonts > General, but we Windows folk don't have an Android Studio tab or option and Preferences isn't an option anywhere.
We have File > Settings > Editor. Here's the screen with the only conceivable next links to click highlighted:
But here's what I see when I click General. I can select this background:
But I can't live with that.
In Windows 7, AS 3.1.2 the menu sequence--File > Settings > Editor > Color scheme > General > Text > Default text--takes you to a screen where you can set the foreground and background colors via a "color circle" or by typing in your favorite RRGGBB code(s).
I was pleasantly surprised by how an error in an xml file showed up (and the current line):
These signs of new line and tab appeared when I launched eclipse today. How do I turn it off?
Press the button highlighted in this screenshot:
