I hate the Java IDE's and want the feeling of safety that looking at the editor in Visual Studio gives me.
Is there a way I can get a Visual Studio theme, the normal one with the white background, and not the one with the black background, that I can import into IntelliJ IDEA to make it look like Visual Studio's syntax coloring?
Was originally posted as a comment, but it seems to have answered the question so I'll post it here as well for completeness.
I'm not an Intellij-idea user, but it seems like you can get themes here. [Editor's note: there used to be two links, but the website currently redirects to a GH repo in a way that makes the second link untracable. Ask OP for a new link]

I am using the latest Android Studio version at this time (2.3.3) and I did not have much experience with Android Studio before, when I started to use it now, I feel a bit uncomfortable with the Java syntax.
I do understand that there is a way of changing each attribute colour, if you go to "Editor> Colors & Fonts> Java" I will be able to modify the Scheme myself, but I'm not too sure about how to manage it.
I've been using Eclispe and SublimeText before, and in Sublime it is much easier to understand the code and visually get around.
Android Studio Syntax:
Sublime Text Syntax:
Maybe there is a way around it, where I can import a scheme or a tutorial how to set the correct colours for a correct attributes?
For those that are trying to achieve what I wanted, there is a GitHub repo called sdvoynikov/color-themes where you can download a lot of themes from there and then import into an Android Studio.
Step 1 : Download jetbrains-monokai-sublime theme
Step 2 : Extract the zip.
Step 3 : Go to File -> import settings -> and select the Monokai-Sublime.jar where you previously extracted the zip.
and you are done
Install Java Code Styles, which is compatible with IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio.
I downloaded intellij idea from their website and whilst installation out of nowhere I got instructions in a language other than english. The same language was reflected in my netbeans IDE, one of my reasons to switch to Intellij. The language seems to be inscrutable. I tried several trial and errors, but no result.
Since the UI is similar to android studio, and I have android studio, I tried to locate any language settings within android studio but couldn't get any. How did this happen? How can I get rid of this and be back to english?
Any help is widely appreciated..
EDIT :
My Environment variables
Had the exact same problem (with Android studio) while my default windows 10 fonts were set to Nunito instead Segoe UI. After I revereted to Segoe UI everything works nice.
this is my first time with Android Studio and I can remember when you try to use button functions eclipse shows the functions available and text of description, but Android Studio no...
For example: button.setOnClickListener()....
This system of help it's available in Android Studio?
Sorry for my english and thanks in advance!
Do you mean suggestions?
Check if CTRL + Space bar is what you are looking for as these stand for suggestion by default. Please notice Android Studio is based on IntelliJ IDEA, so all IDEA's shortcuts should work in AS as well.Read more about code assistance here.
By the way - you can set your shortcuts to be Eclipse-like.

Ah, I posted so many link already, I'll post one more: Default shortcuts keymap
I'm trying to develop an Android application with UI. So it's little complex for me to create UI with codes. I was using Visual Studio for long time where visual design is piece of cake. I also used Netbeans and Eclipse for java applications with UI but when it comes to Android I can't find a good way for UI desing. There is a visual design part in Eclipse but I want to use Netbeans as long as it's possible. Also I think DroidDraw is not good enaugh too. So I seached on web for Netbean's visual design tool and found nothing. If there is no tool or plug-in like this WHY? Thank you for any help.
Edit:
Well, long time passed. I just get used to code my ui. Also I am using Android Studio. 8)

just saw that you've used DroidDraw.
There is official GUI designer included in ADT. Browse for main.xml (project/res/layout/main.xml) and doubleclick it :)
enjoy!
The combination of ADT (Android Development Kit) and eclipse 3.1 + will help you to develop the application graphically. Once you open the layout xml files, click “Graphical Layout” tab at the bottom of the section to open the graphical view. Now you can drag and drop components & also update layout.
But it is better to understand how the xml is defined in the layout. This will help you to fix any problems (in case).
Hope this helps.
Using Embarcadero RAD Studio XE7 (delphi or c++builder) allows for that task but it builds apk files with ome 10mo,
Does anyone know of any tools (besides DroidDraw) that can help me create the basics of my projects a bit quicker? I'm looking for something that will allow me to very quickly generate the XML for my layouts so I don't have to sit there typing like a robot for so long.
Thanks!
However the drag and drop layout design method is not recommended for Android Applications UI designers but there is an Open Source project on Google Code: android-ui-utils , in which you might find something intersiting.
It uses a Firefox addon Pencil to draw and design android layouts and also uses an online "Android Assets Studio" where you can design your custom Icons like:
Launcher icons
List item icons
Menu Icons
Notification icons
You can give up a try here:

DroidDraw is OK, but the reality is that if you are going to write for Android you are going to want to learn how to write XML layouts from scratch. I remember that XML layouts seemed bizarre when I first started working with the Android SDK, but eventually it starts to make sense.
I read a blog post from a member of the Android team at Google explaining why XML layouts are better than GUI-based layout systems (such as the one included with the iPhone SDK). I can't find the link right now, but basically XML allows for layouts that gracefully scale across devices of radically different sizes and purposes where a GUI-based layout designer often has to be tweaked at best and redone at worst for devices of different sizes.
The official Android Plugin for Eclipse comes with a GUI Editor which supports drag'n'drop of GUI Elements. Not necessarily better than DroidDraw, but maybe you didn't know yet: http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
