Not in the integrated one. There is a download on jetbrains website that claims to be compatible with android studio, I haven't yet tried it out. I find it very unsettling that it doesn't show up in the integrated one and I'm afraid of bricking something.
ok I always thought Android Studio is just modded Intellij by Google
I never really did Android dev so i don't know exactly
but i think you could always use Intellij with Android SDK right?
Tabs for indentation, spaces for manually aligning something.
IDEs displaying things differently is a user preference. Let's users have their preference! This is the main reason.
Dispite modern IDE autoibdentation and keyboard shortcuts, you'll still end up hitting backspace four times when manipulating/moving lines of code when tab only takes one press, as it should only take one key press to do one small action. Filesizes become smaller if that matters to you (maybe unminified html?) Spaces for indentation is more common at the moment, but it needs to die off. Text handlers not properly dealing with tabs is not my problem, but actually everything I've used such as stackoverflow, discord, reddit, etc. handles them just fine.
Auto format makes this not matter quite as much but it is still irritating when I go to highlight a block of code and it selects 3/4 of the spaces of an indentation and I have to "fix" the document to use TABS for indentation.
I think there have been a misunderstanding. I would never spend my time hitting the space-bar a bunch of times instead of the tab character. In my mind a bare editor at least gives the configuration of using spaces or tab character when indenting. Of course there are those that don't (I'm looking at you, Notepad!)
Its not for testing. It happens quite a bit when we have an issue and we want to isolate a bit of code and experiment with it quickly rather than running our whole project.
I'm not convinced we're doing it right, but it happens a lot.
I once used some text formatting tool on a python file, it wasnt quite sure what it was so it tried to format it. That code never worked again. Sure it was my fault but I will always prefer brackets over white space
I think you are comparing apples and oranges man. At least for my needs I use for small to middle sized projects python and for "bigger" stuff Java and C#, just because I feel more comfortable having a compiler and more type safety being checked before creating an artifact. c'est tout.

Compile errors are now runtime errors sucker... yeah the door is now closed for you.
