Why is Auto Import in Android Studio not working?

I'm watching "Accessing Views in Code: Declaring Variables" and I encounter the red colored text, but when I hit Alt+Enter it only brings up a drop down menu. How do I get it to auto import instead?

I'm using Android Studio 1.5.1 , and I've tried changing the java import settings but its not working.

Thank you

The class name by itself isn't necessary unique. Auto-import will give you a drop-down when there's more that one class with that name, listing which package each possibility comes from. It's up to you to choose the appropriate one. Given the video you most likely want the package android.widget or android.view.

Thanks, I actually just edited the settings under general > import. Do you mind me asking, is this ever a problem?
