Android Studio - No Activity Templates available

Question

I want to create a new Preferences Screen using the SettingsActivity template. All the websites I looked at gave me these steps:

• Right click on the Package name
• Select "New" from the menu and select "Activity" from the list of options
• Studio will then show a list of Activity templates, one of which will be SettingsActivity

I do not get any such thing in the "New" menu options. All I have are Java Class, Android Resource File and Directory, File, Package, Image Asset, Android Component, package-info.java, HTML file.

When I select Android Component, a dialog box appears allowing me to choose between Activity, Fragment, Application, Service etc., and that is it.

I have Android Studio version 1.0.2 and from folders I see in (...)Android\Android Studio\plugins\android\lib\templates\activities I do have the SettingsActivity template.

How do I create a new Activity from any of these templates?

EDIT: I am not using Gradle.

Here is the screenshot of the menu I get.

Answer 1

The wizards are sensitive to the cursor position and selection. Click on the package name under "src/main/java" first. Then right click. You should see the following. If not, can you post the image that you do see?
