Android Studio Project Encoding Default Value

Question

I'm using Android Studio 1.2, when I create a project, then I open the File Encodings setting window via File -> Settings -> Editor -> File Encodings, there is the Project Encoding option which defaults to GBK on my computer (Windows 7 64 bit). I could manually change it to UTF-8 for each project, but is there a way to let it default to UTF-8 directly?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Please have a try, it works for me. File -> Other Settings -> Default Settings, then find "File Encodings", change Project Encoding to UTF-8.

Answer 2

Go through File -> Settings -> File Encodings in your Android Studio. See the attached screenshots.

Here, you have 4 options

1. Change project encoding to match UTF-8.
2. Change IDE encoding to match other encoding.
3. Change Default encoding for properties files.
4. See the current encoding of your file at the bottom right corner of Android studio. You can also change it there.
