Android Studio snippets


Code snippets are known as Live Templates in Android Studio

Browse the current Live Templates

Go to File > Settings > Editor > Live Templates. Then click on the different options to see what they do.
Here are some interesting ones:
  • foreach
    for ($i$ : $data$) {
        $cursor$
    }
  • Toast
    android.widget.Toast.makeText($className$.this, "$text$", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  • todo
    // TODO: $date$ $todo$ 
  • logi
    android.util.Log.i(TAG, "$METHOD_NAME$: $content$");
The words surrounded by $ signs are places where things will be filled in automatically from the context or where the user can tab through to fill them in.

Use a Live Template

Just type in the abbreviation and tab through anything that you need to fill in.
Example:
logi
and I'm given this
Log.i(TAG, "myMethodName: |");
with the cursor located at the position I marked with the vertical line |.

Make you own Live Template

Just write the code, highlight it, and go to Tools > Save as Live Template.
