Android Studio: Block comment style

Question

Block comment style in Eclipse (`write /* and press Enter`) ``` /* * Hello World */ ``` Block comment style in Android Studio ``` /* Hello World */ ``` How can I make my Android Studio block comments look like the one in Eclipse? Couldn't find anything in the settings.

Accepted Answer

You can create a Live Template to do that.

Follow these steps:

- Open Settings (`File -> Settings`) and go to `Live Templates` (under `Editor`)

- Click the green `+` (top right) and choose `1. Live Template`

- Enter `/*` as abbreviation and add a description (if desired)

Add the following to the `Template text:`

```
/*
 * $END$
 */
```

Set `Expand with` to `ENTER`.

- Click `Define` (highlighted in blue at the bottom) and select areas where you would like the template to be applicable (Java, for example).

- Save settings by clicking `Apply` or `OK`

Now you can type `/*` followed by `ENTER` to insert the desired code :)
