How to ignore java.time package in Android Studio

Question

I am currently working on an Android Studio project with a minimum API version of 17 (JellyBean), so I cannot use the java.time package. Instead, I am using the ThreeTen backport for Android (com.jakewharton.threetenabp:threetenabp:1.1.0).

My problem is that every class in com.threeten.bp matches one in java.time, and I find that it is very easy to accidentally import the wrong class, since the auto-complete popup shows the java.time option first. I need a way to just remove that java.time package from my project, or at least tell Android Studio to ignore it. Is it possible to do that?

You cannot remove it from the project, other than by setting a low enough compileSdkVersion, from before java.time was added. That won't work very well for the rest of your app, though. I don't know if there is a way to tailor auto-complete to filter out certain packages, though that sounds like a nice feature. – Sheley

You can disable auto-import classes of this package. Add java.time into:

Editor--> General --> Auto import --> exclude from import and completion
