[android-developers] eclipse XML formatting not working
Hello, I've recently reinstalled eclipse and ADT and android plugin for eclipse. I am trying to set the formatting properties for my projects by going to Preferences - XML - XML Files - Editor and setting them, but when I save and do a CTRL-SHIFT-F eclipse behaves as if I never set any of them. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks, JG (eclipse SDK 3.7.1 eclipse plugin for developer tools 16.0.1) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it? Go to Preferences - Android - Editors and uncheck the first option (Format XML files using the standard Android XML style rather than the configured Eclipse XML style (additional options below). The builtin Eclipse XML formatter isn't suitable for formatting XML files the standard Android way (where for example layouts and value files are formatted differently), so in Android projects we use an alternate formatter (which also sorts attributes etc). If you uncheck the option above, it will just use the default Eclipse XML formatter instead. -- Tor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Not sure what the benefits of having attributes sorted rather than appear in the order the user wants them to be is, but I guess I'm not going to run into any problem if I format the XML files my own preferred way. Otherwise, please let me know. Thanks, JG -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Otherwise, please let me know. The order doesn't matter -- just like the formatting and whitespace itself doesn't matter -- but for clarity some developers prefer to list ids and attributes first, and in layouts the layout params before the others etc. -- Tor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
