I use android studio.

Possible Intellij workaround:
type the name of the extension

so, for extension String_Extension on String {

you would type String_Extension, intellisense should recognise the extension name and selecting it will import the reference

[vanlooverenkoen]

Just tried it with a DateTime_Extension. It did not work

I've using this technique for about 3 weeks now in IntelliJ. Maybe it only works in Intellij?? Worth another go as this was really really annoying beforehand!

Yes, this works but it's kind of annoying... In intelliJ Kotlin extensions are well autocompleted as you type the method name on your variable, I hope this problem will be fixed soon

Can't get it to work in Android Studio

@bwilkerson possibly a dupe of #38894?

[bwilkerson]

That seems likely, so I'll close it for now under the assumption that it is.
