I have just started learning android and using the Android Studio by IntelliJ, so please bear with me if this is a very stupid question to ask.

Is there a way to have copyright notice text automatically added to source code files, by android studio IDE?

I have eclipse setup to automatically add copyright notice text at the top of my source code file, whenever it is created. So, I am expecting something similar for android studio as well.

Please note: I know that I can easily do it by write a script that can add a license text, so please don't suggest that as an answer.

Thanks for reading this question.

In Preferences --> Copyright --> Copyright Profiles, create a profile, and replace the default text with your own custom copyright notice. You can then format it in Formatting tab.

Example: enter image description here

Then in Copyright tab, select your profile (in my example "test"), and copyright text will be added to new source files you create.

To add/update the copyright to existing project files, select Code -> Update Copyright from the menu bar and select the scope of files that should be updated.
