I have started developing with Android Studio. In eclipse I was using Ctrl+Shift+F but in Android studio it does not work, It will be different.

Here are the 10 must-know shortcuts in Android Studio. Whether you are just starting out as an Android developer (Stop, be a Flutter developer instead), or already a corporate slave like me, I assure you these shortcuts will make your life much easier. And I am not talking about Copy Paste Undo. We are going to learn the good stuff. 34 Shortcuts for Android Studio. General Shortcuts. Ctrl + Shift + N. Alt + Arrow Left / Arrow Right. Navigate open tabs.

Linux: Ctrl + Shift + Alt + L. Mac: Option + Command + L. When you perform a code reformat, a small dialog should popup informing you of the changes made. You can click 'Show' in this dialog to bring up the 'Reformat File Dialog'. You can also bring up this dialog from the Code menu and its corresponding shortcut. All of these shortcuts work for Android Studio and IntelliJ in Windows. Are you coming from iOS? Just press Ctrl+Alt+L to fix your indentation and reformat code. A cheat sheet of the most useful keyboard shortcuts for Android Studio. I made this list when I switched from Eclipse to Android Studio and found the official list to be overwhelming.

How can I jump to any method in .java. I was using Ctrl+O in eclipse.

Is it available? Can any one tell me that shortcut for code formatting?

Win

Ctrl + Shift + Alt + L

Option + Command + L

Reference : Key Commands and here is full commands for Windows/ Linux users and for Mac users

Update for Ubuntu
As Rohit faced the problem in Ubuntu to format code shortcut, because the Ctrl + Alt + L key is used to lock the screen in Ubuntu.

I found that Ubuntu which handles the key event first. So try to change the Ctrl + Alt + L action in Ubuntu just to be sure.

Steps are :-

Go to System Tools -> System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts Tab -> System -> Lock Screen

Select the row New Accelerator... will be visible then press any Special key with Alpha key (like Shift + L). You changed the key shortcuts.

Now check format key in Studio.

Alternatively

Ctrl + Alt + Shift + L (for a dialog)

Update came from Henry Chuang, and also in another answer given by user2340612.

You can also use Eclipse shortcuts. Windows and Linux, go to File > Settings > Keymap , Mac OS X, go to > Preferences > Keymap and choose Eclipse from the dropdown menu.

You can also use Eclipse’s keyboard shortcuts: just go on preferences->keymap and choose eclipse from the dropdown menu.

EDIT

The actual path is: File->Settings->(under IDE settings)->Keymap (thanks to @Dhinakaran Thennarasu)

Check Keyboard Commands given in the Studio Tips & Trick documentation.

Just select the code and

• on Windows do Ctrl + Alt + L

• on Linux do Ctrl + Windows Key + Alt + L

• on Mac do CMD + Alt + L

For formatting code on Android Studio on Linux you could instead use CTRL+ALT+SUPER+L. You could use this and avoid having to change the system shortcut. (SUPER key is the windows icon key besides the ALT key).

You will have to apply all ecplise shortcut with Android Studio before use of all those shortcut.

Procedure:
Steps:

Now you can use all ecplise shortcut in Android Studio..

Have some snapshots here.

for code formatting in Android Studio
CTRL + ALT + L (Win/ Linux)
OPTION + CMD + L (Mac)

user can also use Eclipse’s keyboard shortcuts: just go on Setting>>preferences->keymap and choose eclipse(or any one you like) from the dropdown menu.

Check this. Also you can change it as per your preference.

Just to add to @user2340612 answer to switch keymaps to eclipse, the path for Android Studio 1.0.1 is:

Ctrl+Alt+L might conflict with Lock Screen shortcut in Ubuntu. In such case you can change the keyboard shortcut for Reformatting Code as follows:

File-> Settings-> IDE Settings-> Keymap

Search for Reformat Code and change the keyboard shortcut.

Really, I went to this thread because of my Ubuntu locks screen after this shortcut Ctrl + Alt + L. So if you are have the same problem just go to the Settings – Keyboard – Shortcuts – System and change the default shortcut for the “Lock screen”.

For those who are wondering about the alignment issue inside bracket.
JetBrains has this as in their issue tracking.

here is the answer:

I think is clear that for code formatting in Android Studio the combination keys are:

CTRL + ALT + L (Win/ Linux)

OPTION + CMD + L (Mac)

However, we forgot to answer about the Jumping into the method.
Well to go into any declaration/implementation there three ways:

1. Goto Declaration

CTRL + B or CTRL + CLICK (Win/ Linux)

CMD + B or CMD + CLICK (Mac)

2. Goto Implementation

These commands show a list of all the classes/interfaces that are implementing the selected class/interface. On variables, it has the same effect as Goto Declaration.

CTRL + ALT + B (Win/ Linux)

CMD + ALT + B (Mac)

3. Goto Type Declaration

These shortcuts will go into the declaration of the “AnyClass” class.

CTRL + SHIFT + B (Win/ Linux)

CTRL + SHIFT + B (Mac)

Additionally, there is a shortcut for Goto the Super Class. This will open the parent of the current symbol. Pretty much the opposite of Goto Implementation. For overridden methods, it will open its parent implementation.

CTRL + U (Win/ Linux)

CMD + U (Mac)

For Auto Formatting your Java/xml files in Android Studio use following commands:

As you are looking for a single point to go with your work as eclipse did, there is no such built in functionality in Android studio but it gives you the ability to do it through Macro, Follow these steps:

In studio open any of your source code file.

Press Ctrl + Alt + O This is used to find/optimize unused import.

If a dialog open select ‘Dont show it again’ and hit Run.

Go to Edit > Macros > Start Macro Recording.

Press Ctrl + Alt + O.

Press Ctrl + Alt + L. This formats your code. (Shift+ctrl+Alt+L for ubuntu).

Press Ctrl + S ,This saves your file;)

Go to Edit > Macros > Stop Macro Recording.

Save this created macro with name for instance:“Auto Formatting”.

Boom, You have now successfully created your Macro, Now just add/assign a
shortcut to it:

Open Preferences.

Search in the left bar for Keymap.

In the right hand pane, click in the search bar and type the name of your
saved macro(“Auto Formatting”.)

Double click on your item. There might be two, it doesn’t matter which one you click on.

Click Add Keyboard Shortcut.

Set your keyboard shortcut to Ctrl + S.

Finally,Confirm overriding Ctrl + S to be your new macro.

The shortcut that worked for me is

SHIFT+ALT+CMD+L

You can optimize imports to remove the ones you don’t use, and auto import the new classes.

Try this.

• On Windows do Ctrl + Alt + L
• On Linux do Ctrl + Shift + Alt + L for dialog to open and then reformat.
• On Mac do CMD + Alt + L

Note: Here many answers for Linux is just Ctrl + Alt + L
which is wrong. In Linux, doing Ctrl + Alt + L locks the system.

It’s CTRL + ALT + L for Windows.
For a complete list of keyboard shortcuts please take a look at the user manual: https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/keyboard-shortcuts.html

Best key where you can find all commands in Eclipse is CTRL+SHIFT+L

by pressing this you can get all the commands in Eclipse.

One important is CTRL+Shift+O to import and un import useless imports.
