Android Studio 3.2.1, XML bad indent format

Question

After updating to Android Studio 3.2.1 the XML files format is very annoying and bad, how can we fix it? Can we change it from somewhere in settings to previews type?

On Android Studio 3, Go to :

Preferences > Editor > Code style > XML then on Scheme switch to Default instead of Project.

You can then use those shortcuts to indent your code:

Windows:

Ctrl + Alt + L

macOS:

Option + Command + L

You can edit your code styles under File > Settings > Editor > Code Style > XML

If you want to preview a specific file, just paste that file's contents into the preview window.

Open File > Settings > Editor > Code Style > XML

Now in layout file make sure you have selected wrap attributes as Wrap always.
