content-assist issue on Mac

I am facing with different options when i do content assist with alt+enter. For example, the options are like these:

-Override resource in other configuration -Edit AIDL Fragment -Language injection settings -Un-inject language reference

I couldn't see like "create string value resource storage_key"

<ListPerefence android:key="@string/storage_key" android:title="@string/title_storage_type" android:dialogTitle="@string/title_storage_type" android:entries="@array/storageEntries" android:entryValues="@array/storageValueEntries" android:defaultValue="@string/storage_default_value" />

I need to create resources for string values.

If anyone can help me to solve or understand the issue i greatly appreciate. I can't move further without handling this problem. Thanks!

1 - Make sure you type your initial string value ie android:key="@string/storage_key"

2 - Click inside the string text before pressing alt - return.

Hello Zahir,

Actually I did exactly the same thing but my problem is still continuing. Do you have another idea or a possibility that causes this problem? Thank you for your help!

I created a new project and tried to test alt+return, which is perfectly okay. My problem is that i don't see any error sign when i type like

android:key="@string/storage_key"

i feel like storage_key is initialized in somewhere that's why compiler doesn't underline storage_key. So the problem is still continuing and i don't have any clue.. I am getting errors only when I run the app.
