If your XML is previously exported Intellij you can simply do:
File > Import Settings > select your xml
If its custom defined, one you can try copying your xml to intellij config directory:
config/codestyles
Assuming your xml is in format intellij can understand, it will then show up in
Code Styles > Manage
If your XML is in different format, try to match tags with one of pre-defined styles(also XML)

For users coming here for the same issue but recent IntelliJ version (like 20), it is a bit different now. Once you've exported your formatter in XML, then follow these steps:
- Go to Preferences
- Select Editor
- Sele Code Style
- Select the language of your choice (eg Java)
- Go to Scheme at the top, click on the setting button by the side
- Select the option to import scheme, choose your formatter type and select the xml file. Then save and apply.
If you see error "IntelliJ IDEA code style XML import failed with error message: null", check to ensure your XML file has the file definition <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> at the top.
NOTE: This is for MacBook. I believe the difference won't be much in other platforms.

IntelliJ IDEA allows you to bulk reformat entire projects or code modules ... Leave "Rearrange entries" unchecked (This will rearrange methods/variables based on arrangement settings in IDEA. This is not necessary.) Under Filters → Check File Masks and enter in "*.java, *.xml" (to ensure bulk reformatting only applies to Java and XML files) ... Run Checkstyle against the module. There likely will still be a few failures to fix manually.
