We have some trouble with how the code formatting works when returning after a method parameters call that is not correctly aligned with the above ). In AndroidStudio 3.2.1 currently but it was doing that for as far I can remember. The problem is happening in Kotlin and Java.
What the AutoFormat does that we don't like.
fun behaviourExample() {
this.methodCall(
lambda1 = { /*something*/ },
lambda2 = { /*somethingElse*/ }
)
.map { "Line incorrectly indented" }
.map { "I'd like the lines to be correctly indented" }
}
fun methodCall(lambda1: () -> Unit, lambda2: () -> Unit): String {
return "otherThing"
}
We would like to find the parameters to change the AutoFormat like this: map{} correctly aligned with the closing )
fun behaviourExample() {
this.methodCall(
lambda1 = { /*something*/ },
lambda2 = { /*somethingElse*/ }
)
.map { "Line correctly indented" }
.map { "I'd like the lines to be correctly indented" }
}
What we are doing in the meanwhile is to return before the methodCall, that's not pretty but that works.
fun behaviourExample() {
this
.methodCall(
lambda1 = { /*something*/ },
lambda2 = { /*somethingElse*/ }
)
.map { "Line correctly indented but I don't like to be forced to add methodCall() in a new line" }
.map { "I'd like the lines to be correctly indented" }
}
We suspect that it should be somewhere in the preferences -> Code Style -> Kotlin but we played with a bunch of parameters and didn't found it

Above is an example of how the autoformat behaves but our problem is with calls like Single.zip(), Observable.concat() etc... The indentation misleads where in the chain you can be. So we use it like this.
Single
.zip (
/* parameters */
)
.map { /* something */ }
Instead of
Single.zip (
/* parameters */
)
.map { /* something */ }
Thanks for any help or leads.
The formatting you're using now is actually how such code is supposed to be formatted according to the coding conventions. If the closing parenthesis of a method call is wrapped to a new line, it's aligned with the beginning of the method call. There is no option to indent it by 4 spaces.
