Disable spell check on field names in Android Studio


Spell check can be customized/disable via:

Android 1.1.0: File -> Settings (Project Settings [...]) -> Inspections -> Spelling -> Typo

Android 4.1.1: File -> Preferences -> Editor -> Inspections -> Proofreading -> Typo

This brings up three options that can be enabled/disabled:

  1. Process code
  2. Process literals
  3. Process comments

Uncheck whichever boxes you would like


Why on earth would any IDE do that?

I think because people can make typos in field names as well.

I still want spell check enabled, but not on any field names. I would expect spell check to only check comments or javadoc. How can I fix this?

I'd say it's not even broken ;) Check out the preferences, you'll find that you can define the scope of spell checking. (Editor / Inspections / Spelling)

Android Studio is out of beta

Final. Since yesterday.
