Intellij Extract Inner Class

Question

How does one who is using IntelliJ or Android Studio extract a public static inner class to create a new top level class?

Thank you.

Excuse the wordiness. The question was too short initially. Basically: How do I extract a public static inner class to create a new top level class in IntelliJ? — helsont, Aug 31 '15 at 17:34

Select the class name.

Refactor > Move or press F6

Select "Move inner class Foo to upper level"

Is there a way to move all inner classes at once? – Ilya Gazman Jan 18 '17 at 20:06
Not to my knowledge. – Carl Manaster Jan 18 '17 at 20:07

One thing to note: this has to be done from the code editor window. It doesn't work if you select the nested class in the Structure view and refactor from there (2016.3.4). – David Dossot Mar 07 '17 at 17:37
