Android studio code formatting not following the settings

Question

I want to copy my project to another directory on my windows 10 PC but whenever I copy the project and open it from the other directory the code formatting settings do not apply to the code formatting. Whenever I format my code with the code formatting shortcut(ctrl + alt + L) the tabbing is turned to 1 space and the code becomes very hard to read. Changing the settings or resetting them to default does not change anything. I also tried to replace the files for code styles but that also does not work. What would you suggest me to do?

Answer 1

AndroidStudio should be the same as IntelliJ IDEA. There you can override formatter settings in Settings -> Editor -> Code Style . There you can set Tab size and Indent (I personally suggest 4 spaces).
