Force Android Studio to show light bulb

Say I type the following field 

field = "I am field";

In Eclipse as soon as I place the mouse on field it shows me a list of options from which I can select create local variable field.

In Android Studio, the lightbulb is a headache for me. Sometimes it appears quickly, sometimes it takes forever to appear.

Example of lightbulb

Is there a way to force it to appear?
