Please advise, I have a problem in Android Studio version Meerkat where, for example, when I type Image and press Tab, it only generates Image(). However, I’ve seen that it’s possible to set it up so that when I start typing Image and press Tab or click on one of the suggested methods, it generates Image(painter =, contentDescription =).
I tried enabling "Show parameter name hints on completion." but it's not working
Android Studio doesn’t insert parameter names by default on completion. To achieve this behavior:
Live Template workaround:
Go to Preferences > Editor > Live Templates
Create a Kotlin template like: Image(painter = $PAINTER$, contentDescription = $DESC$)
Assign a shortcut, e.g., img, and expand with Tab
Alt + Enter hint:
After inserting Image(), place the cursor inside parentheses
Press Alt + Enter → Select "Add names to call arguments"
Try the Kotlin Fill Class plugin for automatic named parameter filling.
As of Meerkat, “Show parameter name hints on completion” only affects inline hints, not autocomplete inserts.
