I have an app that allows you to create Home "shortcuts" to a specific Activity . It turns out that some of my users will use the app, hit the home key to go do something else, then use one of the shortcuts to jump back to that Activity.

First, set up the taskAffinity in the Manifest to make the

I searched the web for about an hour now, I set Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist to defaults, nothing. Everything else seems to work. Ideas? To be clear: the shortcut works, it completes everything except "syso" as seen so far, on syso (also tried sysout) it says "No Default Proposals".
