How do you get Eclipse to auto-suggest methods?

Question

I just deleted Eclipse and the Android SDK completely, and reinstalled them together from the Android SDK bundle. (I did this because a lot of bloat had built up over time and I couldn't get SDK Manager to recognize new versions of ADT.)

Eclipse used to pop up with a list of all available methods of a class if I typed the name of the class and then a dot, and would start filtering the list down as I continued to type. This feature is not working since I reinstalled. How can I turn it on?

I already installed API 17's sources and documentation in SDK Manager.

See if you have content assist enabled. Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Content Assist. Look at all the preferences in this category, something might be unchecked that should be checked. — A--C, Dec 05 '12 at 01:30
