I'am trying now to develop Android Apps using Eclipse. I have already installed the ADT Plugin and the Android SDK.

Now, I just want to see with the keys CTRL + Space the android classes(android packages) while typing a android method. For Example when i type OnCr and press CTRL + Space, it should show me the methods like onCreate, onCreateContextMenu and so on.But when i press these combination there comes No Default Proposals or something like that.

But if i type "ja" and press CTRL + Space it shows me all the java packages like java, java.awt and so on.

Or if i want to type for example System.out.println and just only type in System and press the CTRL+Space key i see that the System class is in the java.lang package and after a dought i can repeatly choose in the list a underclass of System class like out, in , getproperty and so on.

My question is what i must do in Eclipse so these function works for android packages or android classes whatever too?

I don't want ever type the full methodsnames to develop an application i want to choose it from the Proposals list. The own methods i have created are not a problem , i can see my own methods in the list but i want to see the android methods too.

I have read in many communitys about Content Assist in Preferences section in Eclipse. But i can only tick there some standard things like java proposal or java non-type proposal how to add android?

Or a Suggestion in which another IDE i can do it with these lists for android is acceptable,too.

By the way i am using Eclipse Helios.

Can you help me please

Thx

  • Android uses the same classes as java. Whenever I work on an andorid project with eclipse I can always use ctrl space. I read your question 3 times and I don't see what is your problem Eclipse auto clompletion always worked fine for me – Jason Rogers Apr 16 '11 at 14:01
  • ok again, for example i want to write a public void onCreate Method. When i start to typing "onCrea" is it normal that the Proposal list don't appears? I think if i am typing the proposal list automatically must be shown or not? with the methods like onCreate or onCreateContextMenu or onCreateOptions Menu. In my IDE it don't appears this list. And i think you are wrong these Methods are not typical methods in java . These are only for android as far as i know. When i start to type "andr" the list must be shown and show me the packages like android or android.process or android.app and so on? – HaShLo BuRn Apr 16 '11 at 14:11

Working solution: I have deleted my Eclipse version. I had the Eclipse for Java Developers version and i replaced it with Eclipse Classic 3.6.2. I didn't have to reinstall the Android SDK.

Then I just install the ADT plugin in Eclipse Classic and link it with the Android SDK and it works.

Are you actually starting from onCr... or are you doing public void onCr...? The first will give you auto-complete proposals and the second will not.

Try the following simple example:

package com.example;

import android.app.Activity;

public class AutoComplete extends Activity {
    onCr//CTRL-SPACE here
}

This shows the list of suggestions fine for me in Eclipse 3.4.2 with no additional configuration.
