No Autopopup code completion option there

Answered

Hi,

I found my IDE didn't have the Autopopup code completion function. So I checked your website and found the following link:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/auto-completing-code.html

It says:

"

  1. From the main menu select File | Settings (or press Ctrl+Alt+S).
  2. On the left choose Editor | General | Code Completion, and select the Autopopup code completion option.

"

But I am not seeing any Autopopup code completion option and here's my screenshot:

 

Could someone take a look? Thanks.

What file type do you edit? Please provide the screenshot of the editor where you expect to get the code completion. A screencast may also help.

Hi Serge,

 

Here's my version info:

For example, when I type System.out. I think it should show all the other methods there, but none.

Please attach a screenshot of the full IDE window with the editor where you don't get the code completion after "System.".

It looks like you don't have JDK configured properly for the project, please refer to https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-running-and-packaging-your-first-java-application.html.

Hi Serge, I think I have chosen JDK 1.8:

You can't use JetBrains bundled runtime as the JDK for your projects, you need to install Oracle JDK, see https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/configuring-projects.html#configure-jdk.

Hi Serge,

 

I see. I have installed Java before, here's the version, I followed you instruction and input the directory: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_161  But it's still not working.

Select JDK directory, not JRE.
