Eclipse格式化程序：如何在我的方法中对齐代码

Question

ctrl+shift+F work fine for what is inside the public class . but the formatting does not work inside the method, see the = sign is not aligned. why? and how do I get this to work?

public class myClass extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 {
    public static boolean       myVar                            = true;
    private static final String TARGET_PACKAGE_ID                = "com.xxxx.test";
    private static final String LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_FULL_CLASSNAME = "com.xxxx.test";
    private static Class        launcherActivityClass;

...
...
private String getOnScreeninfoByType() {
        ArrayList<TextView> textViews = new ArrayList<TextView>();
        ArrayList<Button> listButtons = new ArrayList<Button>();
        ArrayList<ToggleButton> listToggleButtons = new ArrayList<ToggleButton>();
        ArrayList<EditText> listEditTexts = new ArrayList<EditText>();
        ArrayList<CheckBox> listCheckBoxes = new ArrayList<CheckBox>();
        ArrayList<RadioButton> listRadioButtons = new ArrayList<RadioButton>();
        ArrayList<ImageButton> listImageButtons = new ArrayList<ImageButton>();
        ArrayList<ImageView> listImageViews = new ArrayList<ImageView>();
        ArrayList<ProgressBar> listProgressBars = new ArrayList<ProgressBar>();
...

    }

thanks

Answer 1

There is an option Align Fields in Columns in Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter > Edit > Indentation . If this option is checked, fields in class are aligned as you saw. However, I couldn't find any options Align Local Variables or something like that. It seems that there is no option to align local variables in columns.

Answer 2

They are not aligned because they should not be aligned!
The special alignment in the class, could be caused by a special non standard formating rule, that was set up by the person which created that project. Look in project settings in eclipse under Code Formatter (or simillar)
