Eclipse auto suggest list very slow

By auto suggest, I mean that intellisense that pops up when I write something. My problem is that if I write something like btnMyButton. after typing . I get to wait a few seconds until eclipse populates the list with events for button. I am using Eclipse to develop Android applications.

Can this be sped up? I have a Quad Core processor and 4 GB of ram. The rest of Eclipse is working fine.

How do I auto suggest in Eclipse?

Step 1: Open your Eclipse or Spring Tool Suite, then go to the Window > Preferences as shown in the below image. Step 2: In the next screen go to the Java > Editor > Content Assist > Auto activation triggers for Java as shown in the below image.

How do I select a suggestion in Eclipse?

Just got it, go to Window>Preferences>General->Keys and look for "Word completion" as said before. Then near the bottom is "Binding" and to the right of it, a box with an arrow, clicking there you can select "Tab" to use Tabulator for autocomplete.

Why does Eclipse not show intellisense?

Try this: Go to Preferences » Java » Editor » Content Assist » Advanced. Make sure Other Java Proposals is ticked/checked.

In summary:

turn off JAX-WS Proposals in Content Assist

Window > Preferences --> Java > Editor > Content Assist > Advanced
