I was hoping that I could have Sublime set a different color scheme for different projects. So if my default is Monokai, use Monokai; but if a project has for example the Visual Studio Dark theme as preference, then changing to that projects would update the color scheme to that. And then changing back to another project would update color scheme to Monokai again.
The .sublime-project contains a JSON element, so I was hoping maybe I can copy my color scheme setting in there, so I turned that file into:
{
"color_scheme": "Packages/Visual Studio Dark/Visual Studio Dark.tmTheme"
}
And I've also tried:
{
"preferences": {
"color_scheme": "Packages/Visual Studio Dark/Visual Studio Dark.tmTheme"
}
}
But it didn't work. Changing projects back-and-forth didn't update the theme.
Does that functionality exist?
This is possible, but it doesn't go into the top level element of your sublime-project file. Project specific settings, as outlined in the official documentatuion, go inside of a key named settings:
{
"settings":
{
"color_scheme": "Packages/Visual Studio Dark/Visual Studio Dark.tmTheme"
},
}
Not all settings are allowed in project specific settings. In particular, only Editor settings are allowed, and the User Interface and Application Behaviour settings are not allowed. If you look in the default preferences, the top settings are the editor settings, and then there's a comment that indicates when the other settings groups begin.
Basically what this means is that things that control the behaviour of the application as a whole (like what shape the tabs are or whether or not git support is enabled) aren't customizable per project, but things that can be altered on a file by file basis are.
More details on preferences in Sublime in general (including examples of using a custom color scheme per project or per file type) can be found in this video on Configuring Sublime Text.
I'm here today because I'm having an issue with Android Studio. I don't know if it existed on previous versions (I don't remember this being an issue, so I doubt it was a problem on a previous version), but currently I am using the Android Studio V2.1 Stable release.
My issue is that if I launch Android Studio (I happen to be on Windows, 64-bit Android Studio) and at the Start Screen/Page, I click Configure>Settings>Editor>Code Styles, and change the default parameters on any of the languages (XML, Java, HTML, etc.), the Default profile is copied to a new profile (Default(1)) and the new settings get applied to each profile.
If I Apply these changes and exit Android Studio, and launch back up and follow the same method...the settings have completely gone back to what they were before I changed them, with the exception of the Default(1) copy profile. But from my experience, Android Studio doesn't build new projects based on this Default(1) copy profile, it builds them on the Default profile. Which means all of my adjustments to using indents and not spaces, keeping indents on empty lines, etc. all do not get carried through to the actual project files, leaving me to have to go back into the settings with the project loaded up and change all of these parameters again. That's just asinine. Please tell me I'm missing something here and that there's a simpler way of achieving the ability to keep a code style template that I can use on all of my projects!
Perhaps it would be better to report or consult on this using the Android Studio feedback site. If that's the better option, I'm willing to do that too.
Thanks everyone!
What I do in that case is
Go to Preferences
Code Style
Select scheme you want
Click Settings cog
Click copy to project
Some OKs and then it works.
After selecting the code style that i want, opened the gradle.properties file in root folder of the project and deleted the following line
kotlin.code.style=official
deleting the above line, prevents the code style resetting to default.
Go to Preferences
Code Style
Set Scheme to Default [IDE]
Click restore defaults
The simplest way I found to reset the default settings is as follows:
In Android Studio, click on File.
Settings (Ctrl + Alt + S)
Under Editor in settings
Select Code Style
Next to Scheme: select the three dots to access the scheme options ()
Select Restore Defaults
A Confirmation Dialog Box will be displayed to confirm if you want to revert back to
the default settings.
Is there way to disable auto save in Android Studio?
I have already unchecked "Save files automatically if application is idle for n sec"
under Setting->General.
Anything else to be done?
Disable Autosave
File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Autosave > then uncheck both Save files if the IDE is idle for |15| seconds and Save files when switching to a different application > Apply
After doing the above, you may like to do enable the following 2 options too-
Mark Changed But Unsaved File
File > Settings > Editor > General > Editor Tabs > then check Mark modified (*) > Apply
Save One File with Ctrl+S
File > Settings > Keymap > search with save document > right click Save Document > Add Keyboard Shortcut > press Ctrl+S> OK > Remove > Apply
In android Studio 2.1.1, 2016
File -> Settings -> Appearance and Behavior -> System Settings
And see synchronization paragraph and uncheck autosave and/or 'use safe write'
If you go to Settings, and type Save in the search you will find under the IDE Settings an area called "General". From there you can find a number of options to control saving. It sometimes does not work and saving will continue anyway. Unfortunately there is no universal "turn-off" switch. AS is a hand holding IDE, you just have to get use to it.
Settings section you are seeking looks like this:
For Android Studio v3.3
Open Settings (Ctrl+Alt+S or File->Settings)
On the top left corner of the settings menu, search for "save" in the search bar field
Click on System Settings and all the sub-settings related to save will be highlighted
Uncheck Save files automatically if application is idle for * sec
Click on apply and close the settings menu.
It is highly recommended to follow this method
Mark Changed But Unsaved File which will help you distinguish between your unsaved and saved files.
I'm facing problem with keeping proper order of XML attributes in Android Studio. As you can see below, the style attribute is between layout_* attributes, but I want it to be ordered by name (like in Eclipse). I'm using standard Intellij code formatter and the Android Studio gives users ability to set your own rules regarding XML ordering. The settings are located in Code Style -> XML -> Arrangement, but it seems not to work or I'm using it wrong. Any ideas how to order XML attributes by name using default code formatter?
<TestView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
style="#style/BackgroundLight"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</TestView>
Finally got it.
Choose File > Settings > Code Style > XML > Set from > Predefined Style > Android
Set File > Settings > Editor > Formatting > Show "Reformat Code" dialog
Run formatting on a XML file (CTRL+ALT+L by default)
You will see a popup window, set the Rearrange entries flag
Disable Reformat Code dialog in the settings
This way every XML file formatting will set the attributes in a proper order.
Edit:
Starting with Android Studio 0.2.6 release the XML Android style formatting is set by default, but you still have to set the Rearrange Entries flag manually.
http://tools.android.com/recent/androidstudio026released
Automatically apply the Android XML code style if a code style hasn't
already been customized. This will make it possible to automatically
order XML attributes (check the "Rearrange Entries" checkbox in the
"Code > Reformat Code..." dialog.)
UPDATE: the method I described below is an official way to fix this known issue, see: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases
After updating to the newest Android Studio v3.4.2 I found that it doesn't format XML code properly anymore. For instance, attributes ordering didn't work in layouts. It did indentation and namespaces ordering only.
I don't know the reason why it was broken after an update but was lucky to fix this:
Go to Settings (CMD + , ) on Mac.
Type format in Search box and click on Editor -> XML setting.
Click on the Android tab and make the same settings here as it's on a picture:
Settings on a picture quite normal, but of course you can tune this tab setting up to you.
Go to the Arrangement tab and you will see something like this:
The reason why attributes are not getting sorted - sorting rules are empty.
To fix this:
Choose Scheme and play with Default IDE and Project options. Switching between them may help.
Or choose Scheme which suites your needs and then click on Set from... blue text in right upper corner -> Predefined Style -> Android. You will see restored rules in the window:
I also chose Force rearrange - Always
To save result – click Apply.
Also you can click on a gear icon near Scheme and copy settings or even restore defaults.
P.S. To me standard rules are comfortable, but it can be customized further. Here is an article which may help doing this: https://medium.com/#VeraKern/formatting-xml-layout-files-for-android-47aec62722fc
Go to your layout XML
Try Ctrl + alt + shift + L then find checkbox label is Rearrange code and checked its.
To delete empty lines between them:
Preferences > Code Style > XML > Other > Keep blank lines: 0
And then just reformat your XML files.
There is a plugin for IntelliJ which might do what you're after...
http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/?idea&pluginId=6546
File > Settings > Editor > XML > Arrangement Select Scheme and choose Default
I have just installed Android Studio in my Window 7 64bit.
When I launch the application the background of the screen where we write the code is white.
I would prefer black or any other color.
I am not sure whether we can change the color/theme OR add more themes.
File->Settings->Editor->Colors & Fonts-> In scheme name select Darcula and apply to see a awesome dark background theme editor
Android Studio 3.1.2
File->Settings->Editor->Color Scheme-> In scheme name select Darcula and apply to see a awesome dark background theme editor
You can download new themes from https://github.com/sdvoynikov/color-themes -- note that the project is deprecated at this time, but the sources are still available.
Once you have downloaded the .jar file, go to File -> Import Settings... and choose the file downloaded.
//you need to go to the File-> settings
in that choose IDE settings-> Appearance in that choose the Theme: options
Windows
File->Settings->Editor->Colors & Fonts->
Mac OSX
Android Studio -> Preferences->Editor->Colors&Fonts
Dayle Reese has an amazing set of color schemes available for use in both AndroidStudio and Intellij. Depending on the IDE you are using, these ICLS files go into a particular directory (This is for Windows):
Android Studio
%USERPROFILE%/.AndroidStudio/config/colors
IntelliJ
%USERPROFILE%/.IntelliJIdea/config/colors
Once you've placed the ICLS files in one of the directories above, relaunch the IDE so that it picks up the new themes. There is also a nice page containing a preview of most/all the themes so you can figure out which ones you like most. Enjoy.
If one just need to change (strictly just) the editor's background to your own colour.
Preferences > Editor > Color & Fonts > General > Default Text > Background
Although you need to save it as your own theme.
Just a note for people in the future.
To add more themes on a Mac, put the theme .icls files in
~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio/colors/
Then restart Android Studio. And select your new themes in
Android Studio > Preferences > Editor > Colors&Fonts
Android Studio can use any theme that are made for jetbrains IDE. Here is a good Github repo that has many themes for different IDEs.
Also, the Color Ide plugin is a good tool that changes the background colour of all menus in Android Studio to match your theme. Try it, the IDE will look much better.
Windows should have similar setups, just the theme directory will be a bit different, search for JetBrains Ide theme location should give you the result.
Press Ctrl+` (Back Quote).
Then select "Switch Color Scheme" or press 1.
Select "Dracula" or press 2.
(Note: the exact paths shown here are primarily for Windows and Linux. I know Mac has a few non-standard paths, so if you're on Mac, you may have to adjust the starting bit of the path. The point is, get into settings however you'd do that on a Mac)
Switch theme:
File -> Settings-> Appearance & behavior -> Appearance.
Select the "theme" dropdown, and change between whatever themes you have installed. It shows the default themes and any you have installed in the form of plugins.
Install new themes
As plugin from plugins.jetbrains.com
File-> Settings -> plugins -> install JetBrains plugin/browse repositories/install plugin from disk
Note: newer versions of Android Studio, and possibly IntelliJ, (at least Jan. 2021 and out) may instead have a Marketplace tab in place of the first and/or second one.
The last part has three different options. The first has a few amount of plugins, and looks like only the official plugins. Browse repositories have much more plugins, and seems to be like going to the plugin page. This is a shorter way than going to the intelliJ plugin page and downloading the plugins manually. If you download, click install plugin from disk. This allows you to drag and drop, or find .jar files.
In the install JetBrains plugins, browse repositories, and (newer versions) Marketplace tabs should have a search functionality. You can search for i.e. "theme" from there.
Download a color theme you like - some sites host these, and some GitHub repos may offer them as well. [Editor's note: the website previously linked here has been replaced with spam]
Import the theme. File -> Import Settings. Navigate to the theme-name.jar. Click the "Ok" button. This will tell you restart your application, at least it did for me, and it automatically selected the theme for my editor.
Change the editor's theme color by going to File -> Settings -> Editor -> Colors & Fonts. Select the scheme and click the "Ok" button.
Note that this changes the editor's theme color, not the entire application's theme.
File->Settings->Appearance
There's a dropdown box with various themes.
Mac OS
To install new Theme on Mac go to Preferences -> Plugins -> Browse Repositories -> Select Category "UI" and search theme name, I recommend "Material Theme UI" click on the green button "Install" and then restart after installation.
If your theme is .icls format.
Right click on finder and select "go to folder"
type "~/Library/" to go to hidden library folder
find "Preferences"
find "AndroidStudio2.x"
if you don't have "colors" folder then create one
paste .icls theme files into colors.
new theme will be installed.
to change themes go to Preferences -> Editor -> Colors & Fonts and then select the scheme.
In 2.3.2 i can change the theme by following
View -> Quick Switch Theme -> 6.Look and Feel
Go to File > Settings,
now under IDE settings click on appearance and select the theme of your choice from the dropdown.
you can also install themes, they are the jar files
by
File > Import Settings, select the file or your choice and select ok
a pop up to restart the studio will open up click yes and studio will restart and your theme will be applied.
For additional themes I visited https://plugins.jetbrains.com/search?headline=164-theme&tags=Theme I was able to download one of them. I closed all my tabs opened and simply dragged and dropped the jar file. That was the way Android Studio prompted to restart. I tried importing the jar file as mentioned previously but it simply didn't work.
Thought I would add this as an answer, for anyone who accidentally mess up like I did!
It't not really an answer to the original question, but a few other posts refer to this post, so thought I would add it here (cause its slightly relevant to the question). Hope it helps someone!
Today I accidentally set my IDE font size on Android Studio very high (was going to set it to 10, but it accidentally became 110).
Now, the big issue for me was that opening the file menu was not possible (well, could open it, but could not get to the settings choice), so I had to figure out how to do it manually.
I found the Android Studio IDE settings in the Users/%username%/.AndroidStudioPreview/config folder and in there, the ui.inf.xml file, in which I could change the option FONT_SIZE back to a more manageable size.
Following image is android studio with 110 px font size on a 1920x1080 screen:
File->Settings->Appearance & Behavior-> Appearance and In theme select Darcula and apply dark background theme editor.
On OSX, in the menu bar at the top, click on Android Studio > Preferences > Appearance and you will see a theme drop down.
You can try this Making Android Studio pretty to change the android studio look and feel different.
To install Custom theme in android studio --version 4.1.2
download theme file(.jar) from https://plugins.jetbrains.com/
open android studio
drag the .jar file into studio
On Windows:
File-> Settings-> Appearance&Behavior-> Appearance:
Change "Theme field".
Simple. Just hit CTRL + alt + s - appearance & behavior - appearance - Theme - (Darcula)
You can use CTRL + SHIFT + A and then simply type theme to go directly to the theme settings. Same goes for pretty much any setting, refactoring or action you're looking for.
In Android Studio 3.4.2:
As mentioned in previous answers, you can change theme to Darcula in Appearance & Behavour > Appearance to have default dark theme.
Since macOS Mojave you can use dark mode in system. My issue was the system window bar was still light only for Android Studio:
Note there's an option to change this next to the theme selector: Use dark window headers
You can change or import a theme by using the icon that the "Duplicate Theme" arrow is pointing to in the photo.
Every one sees color differently. Most times a small change in contrast is all you need. Removing the hase from Dracula by changing the Background color to 242527 was perfect for me.
File - Settings - Appearance & Behavior - Appearance - CHOOSE Darcula in "Theme" - Press Apply.
or
Choose File - Settings - Editor - Colors & Fonts - Then SELECT Darcula in scheme name - Press Apply - restart Studio (sometimes not all elements implement theme)
Mac os : mojave / Android studio 3.5
mac os : Android Studio > Preferences > Editor > Color scheme > Scheme : Darcula
