Ctrl+Shift+F to invoke the Auto Formatter
Ctrl+I to indent the selected part (or all) of you code.

I wonder why they put "CTRL + ALT + L (Win)" as the answer out there.... http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio-tips.html#KeyCommands – gumuruh May 29 '14 at 05:13

@DavidJames: for aligning on a special character or string, see [djeikyb's answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/20432333/1498405) for the plugin [Columns4Eclipse](http://columns4eclipse.sourceforge.net/) – hardmooth Aug 25 '15 at 12:29

The answer that the OP accepted is wildly different from the question I thought was asked. I thought the OP wanted a way to auto-align = signs or + signs, similar to the tabularize plugin for vim.
For this task, I found the Columns4Eclipse plugin to be just what I needed.

Want to format it automatically when you save the file???
then Goto Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Save Actions
and configure your save actions.
Along with saving, you can format, Organize imports,add modifier ‘final’ where possible etc
