Android Code Style in Intellij Idea / Android Stud

Question

Before Android Studio, I was using android-formatting.xml as Code Style in Eclipse.

How can I setup Android Studio / Intellij Idea to format code as in Eclipse?

UPDATE

I tried Eclipse Code Formatter plugin. It seems to work, but you cannot edit any setting at all. My team prefers 120 columns instead of 100.

I tried @CrossleSong answer too. It's a bit tricky, but more powerful. You can save this

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/development/+/android-4.2.2_r1.2/ide/intellij/codestyles/AndroidStyle.xml

as Android.xml and copy it to AndroidStudio/Intellij codestyles folder: for me is

~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudioPreview/codestyles

Now you can select Android as Code Style in Android Studio Preferences.

For Android Studio 1.2.2 and above:

What didn't work for me:

Thanks for the question. There are good answers and hints here but for my case where I updated to Android Studio 1.2.2, it didn't work right out of the box. Some answers and blogs suggested that after downloading the xml file,

1. Save the xml file to ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio/codestyles.
2. Then restart AndroidStudio

3. Go to Android Studio -> Preferences -> Code Style -> Java and from Scheme dropdown select the scheme name and save.

   However when I put the xml file inside ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio/codestyles/ folder it didn't show my scheme name in the Scheme dropdown to select from.

What worked for me:

After I updated Android Studio to latest version, under ~/Library/Preferences/ in mac, I had two folders: AndroidStudio and AndroidStudio1.2. For importing the AndroidStyle.xml code style file in the updated Android studio, I had to create a folder named codestyles inside ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio1.2/ folder, since none existed. Then I saved the xml file in there and followed the above procedure. Just saving the file solely in .../AndroidStudio/codestyles folder didn't work for me.

Hope it helps someone some day.
