+# Setting up Kotlin formatting in Android Studio
+
+Kotlin code in this repository is formatted and linted with [`ktlint`](https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint).
+If you
+1. have submitted Kotlin code only to learn this when the analyzer check fails
+2. use Android Studio
+
+
+then there is good news! Android Studio can be configured to use `ktlint` to automatically apply formatting and highlight issues. To do this:
+
+
+1. Install the `ktlint` extension for Android Studio
+
+   a. On Mac, this is `Android Studio > Settings > Plugins > ` Search for `ktlint`.
+
+2. Set the ruleset to be the same as the version used in [`.ci.yaml`](../../../.ci.yaml) (as of writing this is 1.1.1), and the baseline to be `dev/bots/test/analyze-test-input/ktlint-baseline.xml`.
+
+   a. Both of these options should be available under `Android Studio > Settings > Tools > ktlint`.
+
+3. Additionally, Kotlin code in the Flutter repository currently uses some additional rules for compatibility with older versions of Kotlin.
+These rules can only be configured by an `.editorconfig` file in the directory from which Android Studio was opened. To configure these rules, create a new `.editorconfig` file in the root of your flutter repository with the following content
+```
+[*.{kt,kts}]
+# Disable trailing commas to allow compatibility with Kotlin versions less than 1.4.
+ij_kotlin_allow_trailing_comma = false
+ij_kotlin_allow_trailing_comma_on_call_site = false
+```
