How to set max line length in Android Studio code editor?

Question

How can I set a maximum length for Android Studio's code editor, or may be set a word wrap?

In my Android Studio, no matter how long a statement I type on a single line, it never automatically goes to the next line, but rather a horizontal scroll bar appears.

When I autoformat using the Ctrl+Alt+L (reference), nothing happens.

My SO or Google search found a lot of material on this for Eclipse, but not for Android Studio.

If you need not a soft wrap,
but actually, brake one long line onto several lines you need:

Go to Preferences(mac) or Settings(windows) -> Editor -> Code style -> Java/Kotlin -> Wrapping and braces (tab) -> Check "Ensure that right margin is not exceeded"

Now try to reformat your code:
press OPTION (ALT) + CMD + L on your Mac (or CTRL + ALT + L on PC)

As noted in comments this option seems not available in settings for Kotlin. However, there is a workaround to manually add it.
Here is what it takes to make it work:

1. Export the settings scheme.

2. Open saved xml file.

3. Find <codeStyleSettings language="kotlin"> tag (or create)

4. Add the WRAP_LONG_LINES setting manually:

   <codeStyleSettings language="kotlin">    ...    <option name="WRAP_LONG_LINES" value="true" /> </codeStyleSettings> 

5. Save edits and and import back the scheme.

6. Here you go!
