What is the shortcut to Auto import all in Android Studio?

Question

Is there any way of auto importing (like in Eclipse Shift+Ctrl+O) in Android Studio?

I have found only Ctrl+Alt+O which ask for each thing, and I have to press Alt+Enter to accept it.

No way to do it faster?

but I'm looking for an keyboard shortcut for Android Studio. — Michał Tajchert, May 17 '13 at 17:57

"organise imports on the fly" is what you want, if you opened settings and in the search box type 'import' you would have found it — Blundell, May 17 '13 at 19:22

For Windows/Linux, you can go to File -> Settings -> Editor -> General -> Auto Import -> Java and make the following changes:

change Insert imports on paste value to All
markAdd unambigious imports on the fly option as checked

On a Mac, do the same thing in Android Studio -> Preferences

enter image description here

After this, all unambiguous imports will be added automatically.

Use Preferences under the Android Studio menu. – Ben Wheeler Sep 03 '13 at 21:52
Just what I was looking for! The Studio/IDEA, GNOME and Emacs keybindings overlap a good bit. Ctrl+Alt+S maps to GNOME "Toggle Shaded State" - which quickly rolls up/down a window. Disable GNOME keybinding to allow this keybinding to work in the studio window. – dturvene Oct 11 '13 at 21:56

If you do this, there's a bug in Android Studio 0.4.3 and earlier where it can be aggressive about replacing "R." with "android.R." if there's an error that prevents R.java from being automatically generated. To avoid problems, you should add "android.R" to the "Exclude from Import and Completion" list; see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21102497/why-did-android-studio-change-all-my-references-from-r-to-android-r?noredirect=1#comment31771944_21102497 – Scott Barta Jan 14 '14 at 17:08

While i understand this is the correct and handy way along with using the Ctrl+Alt+O to optimize them... It seems mine will not update or allow the Auto Import to work when pasting.. Only rarely did it ask me to Import...damn bugs – Angry 84 Feb 05 '14 at 01:56

They really need a shortcut for this, like Eclipse. I don't want to keep this setting on all the time, but sometimes I really need it. For example, when I commented / uncommented a bunch of code. – theblang May 06 '14 at 15:31
I did this but you are still prompted to hit Alt-Enter on every class to import it. Not exactly "auto import". – AndroidDev Jan 20 '15 at 14:42
It works for me, if you use that option you must use Ctrl+Alt+O instead of Alt+Intro, all it will try to import everything – D4rWiNS Aug 20 '15 at 08:08

does it optimize imports automatically ? because I need to do Command + Alt + O every time even with these options selected. – Prateek Jain Mar 30 '16 at 05:15
Great technique. Worked like charm – sunil Apr 17 '16 at 11:56
Not really a big difference.Specially the first part is nonesense.You can let it ask you and then import why put it on all? – steve moretz Apr 21 '19 at 16:11

By changing the keymaps settings you can use the same keyboard short cuts as in Eclipse (Or your favourite IDE)

File -> Settings -> KeyMap

Android Studio -> Preferences -> KeyMap (Mac)

Change keymaps settings to eclipse so that you can use the short cut keys like in eclipse. For those who just want to change this one setting, it is

Main Menu -> Code -> Optimize Imports...

This answer is incorrect! The question is: is there a way to Auto Import? Your answer makes Android Studio to eliminate unused imports. The author wants to auto import a class like `com.company.bean.MyBean` automatically, when he writes `MyBean bean = new MyBean();` – shimatai Apr 03 '17 at 22:43

In the Latest Version of Android Studio, the options for Auto-Import is enabled by default, so kudos no need to worry about that.

On Windows: If for some reasons auto-import is not enable you can go to settings by typing shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+S.

In the Search term just type 'Auto-Import' and then select 'Add unambiguous Imports on the fly' and click Ok.

That's it. You are Done. SnapShot of Auto_import
