How to show line numbers in Android Studio

Question

I'm posting a quick reference for "How can I show line numbers in Android Studio?" See answer below.

NOTE: This question has been marked as a duplicate because Android Studio is based on IntelliJ. In future, if you have a similar question, it's probably worth looking for the IntelliJ setting.

@Sumurai8. As an Android newbie, I had forgotten Android Studio is based on IntelliJ. I didn't think to look for IntelliJ settings and googled for Android studio. Very little was returned. I will keep the post here to help other newbies and have updated the question with a note to point others in the right direction for similar queries. Thanks — JsAndDotNet, May 10 '15 at 07:55

I have found that, after doing this, my line numbers get turned off again. There is a permanent solution here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/912112/1617737 . – ban-geoengineering Jul 06 '16 at 10:36

It think by default after installing Android Studio, line numbers should be shown. – Jaime Montoya Mar 31 '17 at 22:11

This shows the line numbers. But only for the current file. If you need to show it to all files, then you should use @HockeyJ's solution below! – Ruchira Randana Jun 22 '16 at 12:20

Really makes you wonder why this isn't enabled by default... – rob Feb 21 '17 at 13:51
I think from v2.3. This is the default behaviour. @RobertOliveira – Rishabh876 Mar 07 '17 at 12:51
