Android Studio 3.5 Beta 5 is now available in the Beta channel.
If you have Android Studio set up to receive updates on the Beta channel,
you can get the update by choosing Help > Check for
Updates (Android Studio > Check for Updates on macOS).
Fixed issues with predefined Android code styling
We fixed the underlying issues
around applying the predefined Android code style for Java and XML, and it is
now the default again both for IDE and project schemes. If you have local code
style changes, those will be unaffected; you can always reapply the Android
code style by selecting Set from > Predefined Style >
Android on the Code Style settings page to reapply the defaults. (Issue
#131581006)
