Format code in Eclipse

Question

I have typed code in Java for Android in Eclipse. The formatting is not nice. Is there any way I can automatically format it using keyboard shortcuts? Any help will be highly regarded...

You should really have a look at

Eclipse in that Window > Preferences > Keys . You can find all of the shortcuts there and you can also define you own shortcuts you want.
And you can also set you formatter to custom format the you want to format your code in
Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style.
And AS YOU KNOW.
ctrl + shift + f is the autoformat shortcut
