Auto import
If you're using a class, a static method, or a static field that you haven't imported yet, the IDE shows you a popup suggesting to add a missing import statement so that you don't have to add it manually. Press Alt+Enter to accept the suggestion.
If there's more than one possible source of import, pressing Alt+Enter will open the list of suggestions.
To change the background color for import popups, press Ctrl+Alt+S and go to .
Automatically add import statements
You can configure the IDE to automatically add import statements if there are no options to choose from.
In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, click .
Select the Add unambiguous imports on the fly checkbox, and apply the changes.
If you paste blocks of code that contain references to classes or static methods and fields that are not yet imported, the IDE asks you how to process these references. If you want IntelliJ IDEA to automatically add missing imports, select All from the Insert imports on paste list as well.
Disable import popups
When popups are disabled, unresolved references are underlined and marked with the red bulb icon 
. To view the list of suggestions, click this icon (or press Alt+Enter) and select Import class.

IntelliJ IDEA suggests to import single classes by default. You can change the settings to import entire packages instead.
In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, select .
Clear the Use single class import checkbox, and apply the changes.
Disable wildcard imports
When the number of classes that IntelliJ IDEA has imported from the same package reaches the limit (5 by default), the IDE modifies the statements in order to import the entire package instead of importing several single classes from this package:
Disable wildcard imports to always import single classes
In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, select .
Make sure that the Use single class import option is enabled.
In the Class count to use import with ‘*’ and Names count to use static import with ‘*’ fields, specify values that definitely exceed the number of classes in a package and the number of names in a class (for example,
999).
To replace an import statement with single class imports in a file without changing the settings, place the caret at the import statement, press Alt+Enter (or use the intention action 
icon), and select Replace with single class imports.
Exclude classes and packages from auto import
The list of import suggestions may include classes and packages that you don't need. You can exclude redundant entries from automatic import so that the list of suggestions contains only relevant items.
In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, click .
In the Exclude from import and completion section, click
Alt+Insert, and specify a class or a package that you want to exclude.
You can also select whether you want to exclude items from the current project or from all projects (globally).
Exclude a class or a package on the fly
Press Alt+Enter on a missing class to open the list of import suggestions.
Click the right arrow next to a package and select an item (a class or an entire package) that you want to exclude.
In the Exclude from Import and Completion section of the Auto Import dialog, select whether you want to exclude items from the current project or from all projects, and apply the changes.
