Gemini offers AI-enabled autocompletion of code in Android Studio that appears
as gray italicized text as you type. This feature saves you time and lets you
complete coding projects faster by suggesting full functions. When AI code
completion is enabled, Gemini might send additional information from your
codebase such as surrounding pieces of your code, file types, and other
necessary information to provide context to the LLM and provide more relevant
suggestions.
To use AI code completion, follow these steps:
Enable context sharing by selecting Use all Gemini features in the
Gemini settings. AI code
completion only works when Gemini can access context from your codebase.
Open a file and start typing. Suggestions only trigger when the cursor is at
the end of a line or anywhere on a blank line.
Press Tab to accept a suggestion and Esc to clear a
suggestion.
Keep in mind that the system won't always generate code completions. It's
possible that the model doesn't have enough information to generate a response
with high confidence.
You can toggle AI code completion on and off at any time by clicking the Gemini
icon at the bottom of the Studio IDE
and clicking Enable AI code completion.
