What is the shortcut to Auto import all in Android Studio?

Question

Is there any way of auto importing in Android Studio. Something like the auto-import feature that Eclipse has when you use the keybinding: SHIFT + CTRL + O in Android Studio?

Currently I have only found CTRL + ALT + O, which ask each individual thing, and I keep having to use the keybinding ALT + ENTER to accept.

Is there any way I can speed things up?

what do you wanna import? – Becnel

Something like organize import (classes) in Eclipse. – Developing

but I'm looking for an keyboard shortcut for Android Studio. – Developing

How a developer platform (on PC) is related to that? – Developing

"organise imports on the fly" is what you want, if you opened settings and in the search box type 'import' you would have found it – Anomalism

use File -> Settings -> Editor ->*General*-> Auto Import -> Java for Android Studio 1.2 beta 3 – Canonical

Press Alt + Shift + M – Shanonshanta

On macOS, press Ctrl+Alt+O – Bealle

Answer 1

For Windows/Linux, you can go to File -> Settings -> Editor -> General -> Auto Import -> Java and make the following changes:

• change Insert imports on paste value to All

• markAdd unambigious imports on the fly option as checked

On a Mac, do the same thing in Android Studio -> Preferences

After this, all unambiguous imports will be added automatically.

i am not find any Setting option in File Tab, it have option import/export/ and otherSettings that also don't have any Editor Option...any suggestion. – Seiler

Use Preferences under the Android Studio menu. – Patrizio

Just what I was looking for! The Studio/IDEA, GNOME and Emacs keybindings overlap a good bit. Ctrl+Alt+S maps to GNOME "Toggle Shaded State" - which quickly rolls up/down a window. Disable GNOME keybinding to allow this keybinding to work in the studio window. – Juline

If you do this, there's a bug in Android Studio 0.4.3 and earlier where it can be aggressive about replacing "R.<resource id name>" with "android.R.<resource id name>" if there's an error that prevents R.java from being automatically generated. To avoid problems, you should add "android.R" to the "Exclude from Import and Completion" list; see #21102997 – Confluence

While i understand this is the correct and handy way along with using the Ctrl+Alt+O to optimize them... It seems mine will not update or allow the Auto Import to work when pasting.. Only rarely did it ask me to Import...damn bugs – Cavalcade

They really need a shortcut for this, like Eclipse. I don't want to keep this setting on all the time, but sometimes I really need it. For example, when I commented / uncommented a bunch of code. – Gelasias

I did this but you are still prompted to hit Alt-Enter on every class to import it. Not exactly "auto import". – Execrable

It works for me, if you use that option you must use Ctrl+Alt+O instead of Alt+Intro, all it will try to import everything – Purr

Too bad, I can only +1 :( – Rosemaryrosemond

does it optimize imports automatically ? because I need to do Command + Alt + O every time even with these options selected. – Haulm

Not really a big difference.Specially the first part is nonesense.You can let it ask you and then import why put it on all? – Cent

there is no ALL option in "Insert imports on paste" in Android studio Arctic Fox – Safety

That is nice, but doesn't answer OP's question. – Notable

CTRL + ALT + L not working in Ubuntu instead its locks down the display. – Shiver

Answer 3

By changing the keymaps settings you can use the same keyboard short cuts as in Eclipse (Or your favourite IDE)

File -> Settings -> KeyMap

Android Studio -> Preferences -> KeyMap (Mac)

Change keymaps settings to eclipse so that you can use the short cut keys like in eclipse. For those who just want to change this one setting, it is

Main Menu -> Code -> Optimize Imports...

Is there a specific item in Intelij that is equivalent to ctrl shift O in eclipse? I am not finding it. – Carnival

Ctrl+Alt+O for android studio in Mac – Steerage

This answer is what I was after. – Lovato

This answer is incorrect! The question is: is there a way to Auto Import? Your answer makes Android Studio to eliminate unused imports. The author wants to auto import a class like com.company.bean.MyBean automatically, when he writes MyBean bean = new MyBean(); – Bartender

Android Studio --> Preferences --> Editors --> General --> Auto Import

Answer 11

In the Latest Version of Android Studio, the options for Auto-Import is enabled by default, so kudos no need to worry about that.

On Windows: If for some reasons auto-import is not enable you can go to settings by typing shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+S.

In the Search term just type 'Auto-Import' and then select 'Add unambiguous Imports on the fly' and click Ok.

That's it. You are Done. SnapShot of Auto_import

Answer 12

as I have found on kotlin training from google developers, on android studio 4.2.2, On macOS, open the settings by going to File > New Project Settings > Preferences for New Projects... Expand Other Settings > Auto Import. In the Java and Kotlin sections, make sure Add unambiguous imports on the fly and Optimize imports on the fly (for current project) are checked. Note that there are two checkboxes in each section. Save the changes and close settings by pressing OK.

In Windows, open the settings by going to File > Settings > Editor > General > Auto Import. In the Java and Kotlin sections, make sure Add unambiguous imports on the fly and Optimize imports on the fly (for current project) are checked. Note that there are two checkboxes in each section. Save the changes and close settings by pressing OK.

The unambiguous imports settings tell Android Studio to automatically add an import statement, as long as it can determine which one to use. The optimize imports settings tell Android Studio to remove any imports that aren't being used by your code.
