Intellisense doesn't work while can debug

[JoeyRxy]

ext version: v1.3.2

enabled exts:

1. java extension package
2. gradle tasks
3. this ext

My project is created by Android Studio.

I have configured the launch.json and tasks.json (although I think these configs have nothing to do with Intellisense), and I can build and debug my project on my phone.

The androidx libs are included in settings.json as your wiki page suggested.

But, Intellisense doesn't work. eg: When I typing findView... in MainActivity, there's no popup.

Same problem

Try <ctrl+space> where you need completion e.g.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    this.<ctrl + space>
  }
}

Infact getting back to the earlier comment, turns out only way to trigger autocomplete is <ctrl + space> which is pain especially for such a big api as android. Also, peek / goto definition doesn't work. I have attached my vscode intellisense configuration, which is pretty much the default except for couple of settings.

    //BEGIN: Intellesense
    // Controls if quick suggestions should show up while typing
    "editor.quickSuggestions": {
        "other": false,
        "comments": false,
        "strings": false
    },

      // Controls whether suggestions should be accepted on commit characters. For example, in JavaScript, the semi-colon (`;`) can be a commit character that accepts a suggestion and types that character.
    "editor.acceptSuggestionOnCommitCharacter": true,

    // Controls if suggestions should be accepted on 'Enter' - in addition to 'Tab'. Helps to avoid ambiguity between inserting new lines or accepting suggestions. The value 'smart' means only accept a suggestion with Enter when it makes a textual change
    "editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": "on",

    // Controls the delay in ms after which quick suggestions will show up.
    "editor.quickSuggestionsDelay": 10,

    // Controls if suggestions should automatically show up when typing trigger characters
    "editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters": true,

    // Controls if pressing tab inserts the best suggestion and if tab cycles through other suggestions
    "editor.tabCompletion": "off",

    // Controls whether sorting favours words that appear close to the cursor
    "editor.suggest.localityBonus": true,

    // Controls how suggestions are pre-selected when showing the suggest list
    "editor.suggestSelection": "recentlyUsed",

    // Enable word based suggestions
    "editor.wordBasedSuggestions": true,

    // Enable parameter hints
    "editor.parameterHints.enabled": true,
    //END: Intellesense

My understanding is that VSCode is responsible for triggering intellisense based on your settings (but I may be wrong). It's definitely the case that the extension does not look for Ctrl-space (or any other key combination) to show suggestions.

The Peek/Go to definition options are not currently implemented in the extension. Any PRs are always appreciated.
