Why the content assist shows unimported classes?

For example, When I want to create a reference type of TextView :

TextView tv;

I receive an error which tells me to import android.widget.TextView.

Now, I know how the whole Import packages concept works, but I always wondered how does the Content Assist of eclipse displays the TextView Class of android BEFORE I imported it to my project? how it knows it even exists and how it know it exists in android.widget.TextView.

Thanks!

Solution

  • because you have already imported the android library into your project. you can try this: open project properties -> click Java Build Path -> choose Libraries -> remove android library. then content assist will not work.
