Auto import not working for Android classes in Android studio

Question

I am working on a project in Android studio. Suddenly, auto import stopped working in android studio for Android classes, like Android.widgets.Textview, etc. In my settings, auto import is enabled. If I write import android.widget.textview, then TextView shows up in the auto import box.

Try option + enter if you are using Android Studio on MacOSX – Runofthemine

Only for android.xxxxx.xxxxxx i have to copy -paste import lines – Suffragan

Answer 1

The problem was with android studio indexing.

Follow the steps..

Go to 'File' > 'Invalidate caches/restart'

Now the studio will shut down and restart. Now indexing begins. On completion of indexing you will find the Suggestion boxes with every possible suggestions.

bravo! what a weird issue for a "stable" beta ide – Aperture

Not mine. Just ask me to implement the class – Lobate

Invalidate/restart wasn't working, somehow the "Add unambiguous imports on the fly" was unchecked despite it working not 2-3 updates ago. Ticked the box and now it's working again. – Troglodyte

Windows 10, Android Studio 2.3.3 - not help – Lynnettelynnworth

thanks so much, i am using android studio 3.0.1 and the auto import still doesnt work as intended – Colt

Nice , Worked for me – Burier

Answer 2

For me, the problem was that "Show import popup" was not checked at File > Settings > Editor > General > Auto Import > Java.

thanks for location. my problem was Excluding import android.widget.* and removing this solved the problem. – Bunsen

Answer 3

For me the reason was that the class I tried to create did not have an explicit public keyword, which made the class private by default, so it didn't show up in the import context menu of android studio.

For me, the problem was that Gradle targetSdkVersion 30 and compileSdkVersion 30. I changed that at targetSdkVersion 31 and compileSdkVersion 31. And works again. I have tried two days to resolve this issue. And voilà!

Answer 5

For me, the problem was missing lines in to build.gradle (app)

plugins {
    id 'kotlin-android-extensions'
}

Answer 6

I have same problem here, in my case I think it happen because i forced renaming my flutter projects. And unfortunetly when i realize, i forgot the actual name before i renaming.

But it solve by push to git, then download again the project, reopen with android studio. Voila, it solve. It may stupid way to solve, but it work.

I think it happen because Android studio generated file in project to save setting for each project. But after i rename my folder, the connection between apps and setting file is broken.

For me the problem was that Power Save Mode was on for some weird reason.

Solution:

Disable "Power Save Mode" in Android Studio menu: File->Power Save Mode
