intellijidea code completion not new variables

I'm using Android Studio and I have code completion enabled as in picture.

I have enabled "Autopopup code completion" and "Insert selected variant by typing dot, space, etc..".

I want to write:

Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(....);

I write "Dr", appears the popup, I click the space bar, and it writes "Drawable". It's all ok.

Then I write "d", appears the popup with "drawable" suggested, I click the space bar, and it writes "drawable".

But I want to write "d".

Is it possible to change this option applying only to classes and methods and not to new variables?

There is not a way to have code complete only apply to classes and methods and not to new variables. You have three options:

  1. Turn off the Insert selected variant by typing dot, space, etc." options. You will then need to use Enter (to insert) or Tab (To overwrite) when you want to select an item from auto complete. The . (period/dot) key will still work when completing classes if you want to invoke a static member. (This is likely the best of the three choices and is the default behavior.)

  2. After you type d for the variable name, hit Esc to close the auto complete popup before you hit the Space.

  3. Turn off "Autopopup code completion" so that you have to manually activate it each time via Ctrl+Space
