IntelliJ: Never use wildcard imports

Is there a way to tell IntelliJ never to use wildcard imports? Under 'Settings > Code Style > Imports', I can see that you can specify the 'class count' prior to IntelliJ using wildcard imports. However, if I never want to use wildcard imports can I turn this functionality off?

I have tried putting -1 or leaving the field blank but that just tells IntelliJ to always use wildcard imports. Obviously a not-so-nice solution would be to put a ridiculously high number so that you never encounter wildcard imports but I was hoping there was a nicer way to just turn it off.

Like a dum-dum I couldn't figure out why none of these answers were working for my Kotlin files for java.util.*, so if this is happening to you then:

Preferences
> Editor
> Code Style
> **Kotlin**
> Imports
> Packages to Use Import with '*'
-> Remove 'java.util.*'

In Android Studio with Kotlin.

File > Settings,

Editor > Code Style > Kotlin, then "Imports" tab, select "Use single name import".

Also remove import java.util.*.

This applies to "IntelliJ IDEA-2019.2.4" on Mac.

  1. Navigate to "IntelliJ IDEA->Preferences->Editor->Code Style->Kotlin".
  2. The "Packages to use Import with '' section on the screen will list "import java.util."

Before

  1. Click anywhere in that box and clear that entry.
  2. Hit Apply and OK.

Adding the following to the .editorconfig file saves having to apply the settings every time the project is reimported from scratch:

[*.java]
ij_java_names_count_to_use_import_on_demand = 999
ij_java_class_count_to_use_import_on_demand = 999

On a related note: If your java.util packages are still not resolved to single imports today then it might be, that you are looking at a Kotlin file while trying to change the settings for Java like I did. :-) There are the same settings for Kotlin that fixes that.
