Android Studio: Enum auto-completion of switch case

Question

Is there any auto-complete shortcut or code-generation command in Android Studio that creates a stub

switch (myEnum){

}

statement containing all of the possible case statements for a defined enum as in Eclipse?

Put the caret on "switch", press Alt-Enter, select "Create missing 'switch' branches".

I tried that, may be I am doing wrong. Will you please explain? – sud007 Mar 19 '15 at 14:28

Create the "switch" stub as in: 'switch(*enum_instance*){ <- put caret here }' and press Alt-Enter. A small context menu should appear with an entry "Create missing 'switch' branches" – Francois B May 11 '15 at 13:40

I have tried this in the past but this doesn't seem to be working now. Strange! – sud007 Jul 17 '18 at 06:22

Enum.class

public enum
myEnum{
Item1,
Item2,
Item3,
Item4
}

EnumSwitchImplement.class

private Enum.myEnum mMyEnum;

switch(mMyEnum){
//put cursor here and press Alt + Enter

/*a box will come with option "create missing 'switch' branches"
select.*/
}

//your switch will convert to

switch(mMyEnum){
case Item1:
break;
case Item2:
break;
case Item3:
break;
case Item4:
break;
}

This works on Android Studio. Haven't check on Eclipse. :)

Just place the mouse pointer over switch and then wait for some time. An yellow bulb will be shown as below. Click on that yellow bulb (or press ALT+Enter) and click on the option Create missing 'switch' branches option.

This will auto create the switch case-break statements as below.

Hope this helps someone.
