Insert comments after closing bracket using Android Studio automatically

Question

Is it possible to get comments to be placed automatically at the end of a method with Android Studio?

  return new MaterialApp(

    ); // MaterialApp

I haven't found the setting that allows to enable that in IntelliJ in Android Studio. I'd suggest to create a feature request in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/ — Günter Zöchbauer, Mar 06 '18 at 12:08
I found out that this happens in Visual Studio Code with the flutter plugin and there is called ghost comments. — Ricardo Rocha, Mar 08 '18 at 12:25
Yes, it's a dartanalyzer feature, I just didn't find a way to enable it in AS. In IntelliJ there is a checkbox in Preferences > Editor > General > Appearance > Show closing labels in Dart source code — Günter Zöchbauer, Mar 08 '18 at 12:30

Closing labels are now supported in Android Studio 3.1 with the latest Dart and Flutter plugin

(last checkbox at the bottom)

Disable checkbox and restart IDE

This is such a terrible stress-inducing feature that adds cognitive overhead. So glad I was able to turn it off to clean up my code and now things are easier to read! Brace highlighting should be enough to sort things out. – SacWebDeveloper Feb 20 '19 at 23:29
This is now turned on by default, which is awful. – Sava B. Mar 03 '19 at 19:24

As in Android Studio 3.4 the location name changes to:

File > Settings... > Editor > General > Appearance

Tick the last checkbox - "Show closing labels in Dart source code".

Just ctrl + f in settings and paste:

Show closing labels in Dart source code

Disable checkbox and restart the IDE

Now your code is readable!
