Reminds me of Police who maintain order, KtLint would be ideal to stop my code running berserk. Thanks for sharing.

[minds_clear_._]

Perfect! It's really simple! Philipp, thank you!!!

[olegleonov]

Why don't you use a more general solution, for example, detekt? It shows problems right in the IDE without build, has its own rules, can generate reports and can be added in Gradle build.

How we did it when I worked with a team is that we agreed upon a code formatting style we all liked and then one of us configured it in android studio in the code auto-formatting options and then he shared the config file with the rest of the team and we imported it. Then you turn on auto formatting on save, or just get used to using ctrl+alt+L and there you go.

Hi Philip ... I am a subscriber of your paid courses ... The content you add are amazing and valuable and I love it. I want to request a content We use git with android studio right via terminal and via UI interface .... can you show all the stuff that you can do with the UI in android studio git functions(Not via terminal) .... there are no source materials on this on internet .... Thank you

[AhmedBenFadhel]

Thank you for this video. I want to know what to do to make ktlint run on a specific buildType (for example debug BuildType) and having as a result only one report "KtlintDebugSourceSetCheck" ?

[abdulraafay]

Hi, could you make a video on how to cache images that were retrieved from a network request.

[alexandervlasik]

Philipp, thank you very much. I really enjoy your videos. Do not stop, please. And why did you stop to make android news videos?

[ewomer]

Is there a way to get this to work if you refactor change the name of the source directory 'java' to 'kotlin' ? As it is now the formatting only works if the sub folder's name is java

[AnotherneTime]

All your video are belong to us. But seriously, great video.

[CHIchangching]

Philipp, can you please share how to set ktlint for specific folder or path only? I tried with in Android block

sourceSets {
main {
java.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
res.srcDirs = ['src/main/res']
manifest.srcFile
}
}

but when i ran ktlint, it still by default runs for AndroidTests, and Test folder. Any ideas?
