Android Code Style Guide defines "Android Code Style Rules".
To conform to these rules one have to change quite a number of settings of the Java Code Formatter (Window->Preferences->Java->Code Style->Formatter) default profile (in Eclipse IDE).
Did anyone manage to configure the formatter to follow the "Android Code Style Rules" already?
If yes, please export the Formatter profile and publish to be used by community.
PS: I've tried to do this myself but I've found that there are too many formatter options available, and most of them are not mentioned in the Code Style Guide :-(
All you need is to export settings from Eclipse (go to Eclipse's Preferences → Java → Code Style → Formatter and export the settings to an XML file via the Export All button.), and then open IntelliJ IDEA Settings → Code Style → Java, click Manage, and import that XML file by simply clicking Import.
There are pre-made formatter rules available from the platform/development.git repository (GitHub mirror, in folder /ide/eclipse).
So you can simply import android-formatting.xml and android.importorder as mentioned here.
On a related note, here's how developers around Google keep their various Eclipse instances all in agreement: Workspace Mechanic for Eclipse
I think personal or team preferences vary to much to globally enforce a coding style. So every body should deploy his project specific coding style.
