For Android Studio v3.3

• Open Settings (Ctrl+Alt+S or File->Settings)
• On the top left corner of the settings menu, search for "save" in the search bar field

• Click on System Settings and all the sub-settings related to save will be highlighted

• Uncheck Save files automatically if application is idle for * sec

• Click on apply and close the settings menu.

It is highly recommended to follow this method Mark Changed But Unsaved File which will help you distinguish between your unsaved and saved files.
