Is there a way to auto-import extension functions ...

Is there a way to auto-import extension functions and properties without always having to press option + enter? What I've realized is that as soon as I press the option + enter, the import happens automatically before I even click on the import link so why is android studio not doing this automatically.

Personally I just enable auto suggestion as I type and choose what I want and it should be auto imported

This one here for instance is an unambiguous import so I would expect android studio to import it automatically.

When you type it, if you use auto-complete, then it will do the import right then.

I would imagine they require you to press a keyboard shortcut to import to avoid extra weird imports from while you are typing. For example, if I want a LinearLayoutCompat, it would be weird for Android Studio to import LinearLayout if I happen to pause slightly while typing. It makes more sense to only import when you use auto-complete or press a keyboard shortcut, since it knows you are done typing then.

This is when you are done typing. after typing the first closing brace, I would expect android studio to automatically add the dp import. That is the default behaviour for classes and regular functions it's just very different with extension functions and properties.

Just type .d, auto-complete, press enter, and it will do the import itself. It works for everything.

It takes about 5 seconds for that popup to appear @CLOVIS

Ah. It is pretty much instant for me.

You can configure the delay in AS
