Why is there a right margin line in Android Studio editor window?

There is a vertical line in the middle of the file editor window in Android Studio. I'm unable to change the margin line. Below is the screenshot of the right margin line:

Where is the setting to change this line?

That line historically represents the margin of A4 paper, that is useful only if you need to print the code. Old school says that you should keep your code inside that margin, to guarantee much portability.

But.. nowadays in the real life it makes no sense, because we always use advanced editors, bigger displays, and I never have to print any single line of code..

To remove the line in the latest Android Studio version Android Studio Chipmunk | 2021.2.1 Patch 1 ,

File->Settings->Editor->General->Show hard wrap guide

or just search hard wrap in settings window and uncheck the Foreground and click apply.

To disable In Android Studio 4.

File > Settings > Editor > Code Style > "Select the programing languae"** > Line length

Set it to: 300 for example.

For the new Android Studio the location is: Editor > Code Style > Hard wrap at. The standard value is 100, just change to 0

I guess you mean this line?

That's a ruler for the max column width.

You can change the max column width from:
File > Settings > Editor > Code Style > Right Margin (columns)
