Android Studio shortcut for autocomplete Toast(Kotlin)

Question

I have a problem with the newest version of Android Studio(> 3) to use the autocomplete for Toast with Kotlin.

In older versions with Java, it was like typing "Toast", then pushing "Tab" button on keyboard to autocomplete this.

Now, in the versions of Android Studio > 3 and Kotlin it is not working.

Anyone know how to achive this?

Go to Settings > Live Templates. Under Android, find Toast and select it. At the bottom of settings dialog, it says Applicable in Java. Click Change button next to it and select Statement under Kotlin. Done.

This is not an exact answer for your question but if you are using the anko library from Jetbrains (and why wouldn't you?) you can simply show a toast with the line toast("some text")

should this be done manually for every live template? How to apply this for all templates? – Hanif Oct 15 '19 at 15:56
