Quick Docs won't display automatically in Android Studio

Question

As other posts have mentioned, I've already checked the following:

File->Settings->Editor->General->"Show quick documentation on mouse move  Delay(ms):  500"

And I've also already downloaded the SDK

Android SDK->SDK Tools tab->"Documentation for Android SDK"

And I've also tried restarting Android Studio but that didn't help either.

This is what I see when I hover over the selection that I want the quick docs to show up for:

The only way I can get the quick docs to show up, if I press ctrl q.

I'm using Android Studio 3.5.3.

How can I get the quick docs to show up automatically without having to press ctrl q every single time?

Here's a screenshot of what Quick Docs looks like

Answer 1

I had the same problem as you, do this:

1- Go to File-> Settings-> Editor-> General-> Code Completion

2- Check the "Show documentation popup in X ms"

That should do it. I used 500ms, seems to work fine.
