How to fix "No Suggestion" on ctrl+space on xml file android studio?

Question

I can't get any suggestion from my xml layout file. What must I do to fix the problem?

I have tried to invalidate/restart Android studio, enable and disable, deleting build folder, .idea folder, .iml file, and I have tried to make a new project but the suggestion still not show up.

I just want to show suggestion like before normally.

[EDIT]

And every time i select TextView or EditText the element not making layout_width and height automatically.

How I Solved It!

Everybody maybe had a different way of solving this problem. But for me after doing so many experiments, the last thing I do is going to delete configuration setting for Android Studio on "C:\Users\.AndroidStudio" then all fixed for me.

Most of the times the problem is that Power Save Mode is enabled, to disable go to Current inspection profile (lower right corner in Android Studio).@Nanda R.M stikom — Asteroid, Feb 12 '19 at 08:13
Android Studio Chipmunk breaks with `compileSdk 33`, but updating to Dolphin or above fixes it. — EpicPandaForce, Sep 02 '22 at 04:29

For me, it worked after downgrading the SDK version from 33 to 32. – Tushar Patil Aug 04 '22 at 15:11
For me it works when downgraded compilesdk from 33 to 32 – Vishnu M A Nov 15 '22 at 09:58
Downgrading from 33 to 32 is not the ultimate solution. It can be a temporarily solve your problem. – Yosidroid Apr 17 '23 at 13:59

I have tried different things(deleting .idea folder and .iml files from the project, invalidate cache and restart the Android Studio) nothing worked.

Finally I close the Android Studio and navigate to android studio installation directory(i.e C:\Users\Your Username\.AndroidStudio3.3\system) delete the Cache folder, run the android studio and it's works for me.

Normally, you will not get suggestions until your project is rightly indexed. So before the indexing is complete, you will see this problem. Once the indexing of files is complete, you should be able to see the suggestions.

However, if the indexing is complete and you still do not get the suggestion, I would like to recommend to install the latest version of Android Studio again and do not import any settings from your previous version.

You can also try looking for if the Power Saving Mode and invalidating the cache. This post addresses the same issue I think where you might have a look as well.

First solution

Deleting the .idea folder and all .iml files from the project, restarting Android Studio and rebuilding a gradle did the trick. Autocomplete in XML support library is working again.

Second Solution

Just navigate to your android studio installation directory: your_drive_path:/.AndroidStudio3.4/system

Inside system folder: DELETE CACHE FOLDER

3- Now delete the Caches folder.

4- Run the android studio.

5- After indexing it will work.

100 % working solution

I am a starter in android development and I started off with eclipse.. But it started giving lot of problems. So I switched to android studio. Got it set up successfully and for couple of weeks it was ok. Now, for some reason, the auto complete feature is not working. It is not giving any choices while typing, so I tried ctrl–enter. It says no suggestions. I browsed through similar queries and tried the following.

Disabling Power Save in File menu. Checking basic complete and smart type completion in IDE settings (editor) Invalidate caches and restart. But non of these seems to work.

These following steps are working for me:

Close android studio Go to path/.AndroidStudio3.5/system/ delete caches folder Start Android Studio ,

I had the same issue and solved it. Go File> Invalidate Caches / Restart... > Click at Invalidate and Restart

If none of work :

Try with CTRL + space and you will 100% get the drop down .

Invalidate caches... did not work for me

Clean Project, and Rebuild Project... did not work for me

But changing module level gradle's

compileSdk to 31, and targetSdk to 31

did work for me!

I guess some issues with SDK version 33

I tried all, Invalidate Cache, Restart, Clean, and rebuild the project. Downgrading from SDK 33 to 30 also I did after searching. Nothing worked.

In the end, I updated my Android Studio from Chipmunk to Dolphin. Everything is sorted now.

So the final conclusion that worked for me is: Update the Android Studio

in my case it has been solved by decreasing compileSdk and targetSdk to version 31 and then Ive changed some of dependencies versions for example :

implementation androidx.core:core-ktx:1.8.0 implementation androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.4.2 implementation com.google.android.material:material:1.6.1 implementation androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4 testImplementation junit:junit:4.13.2 androidTestImplementation androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3 androidTestImplementation androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0

notice that my android gradle plugin version :7.2.1 Gradle Version :7.3.3
