Here's my 2 cents:

A quick way to toggle word-wraps:

Ctrl + Shit + A : (opens a search window with "Actions" tab enabled.)

Type Soft wrap

Press enter on the first search-result: View | Active Editor Soft-wrap

If you are on mac: Android Studio -> Preferences -> Editor -> General -> Soft-wrap these files

If you are on Windows : Settings > Editor > General > Soft-wrap these files

To enable Soft-wrap, write the following code in the box in front of the checkbox

  1. *.* to wrap all the files in the editor
  2. *.<extension_of_file> to wrap files with specific extension an separated by semicolon

Please goto "File->Settings->Editor->General" tab and check "Use soft wraps in editor". it will solve your problem.

Updates: As @ThePartyTurtle mentioned on the comment some versions of Android Studio specifically from v3.5.3 This option is available via

Android Studio->Preferences...->Editor->General

You go to Android Studio > Preferences > Editor > General > Soft Wraps

then you have to indicate what type of documents you want the soft wrap to be applied on. Be sure to separate each type with a semicolon.

example: *.md; *.txt; *.rst; *.adoc; *.dart; *.plist;
