Change Author template in Android Studio

You can overwrite the ${USER} variable in the template file with the

#set( $VARIABLE = "value")

function. Go to Settings -> Editor -> File and Code Templates -> Includes -> File Header prepend the #set() function call, for example:

#set( $USER = "Your name" )/*** Created by ${USER} on ${DATE}.*/

The above answers are correct. But you can go even further and define your own variables - such as User, Company, Email etc.:

#set ($USER = "Name name")#set ($COMPANY = "company Ltd")#set ($EMAIL = "example@gmail.com")/** * Created by ${USER} on ${DATE}. * ${COMPANY} * ${EMAIL} */

To edit your File Header template, do the following:

1)Open Android Studio Preferences dialog.

2)In the search box, write "File and Code Templates".

3)Select the left menu item "File and Code Templates".

4)From the middle tabular navigation section, select Includes.

5)Select File Header item that applies to the Java files.

6)You will find an editor section that allow you to edit it for the required pattern. Use the description section below to understand the different parameters that can be used.

/*** Created by ${USER} on ${DAY},${MONTH_NAME_FULL},${YEAR}*/

Note: For the name attribute, you can simply write it directly without using attributes. Also you can add your company name or project name in the same way also such as:

/*** Created by Sami on ${DAY},${MONTH_NAME_FULL},${YEAR}* ABCDFG company,* Dubai, UAE.*/
