autocompletetextview

I am using following code for auto complete however, dropdown items comes above the AutoCompleteTextView . I want it to show up beneath the AutoCompleteTextView . How can I do that? package com.example.autocomplete; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import android.widget.AutoCompleteTextView; public class MainActivity extends Activity { protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) { super.onCreate(icicle); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,

How do I show some default suggestions for AutoCompleteTextView before the user type anything? I cannot find a way to do this even with creating a custom class that extends AutoCompleteTextView. I want to show suggestions for common input values to save the user from typing. Any suggestions? You should subclass AutoCompleteTextView and override enoughToFilter() to return true all the time. After that you can call performFiltering("",0) (it's a protected function, so you can export this call via a public function in your class). Something like that: public class ContactsAutoCompleteTextView

I am trying to add listener that will react when an item is selected on the autocompletetextview...can anyone help //phonename is the autocompletetextview PhoneName.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() { public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) { Toast.makeText(check.this," selected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } }); try this: phoneName.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { @Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View

The ArrayList appears to be populating just fine, but no matter what approach I use, I can't seem to get the adapter to populate with data. I have tried adding to the ArrayList , also to the ArrayAdapter . Either way I am unable to get a response at the AutoCompleteTextView level, or in the ArrayAdapter itself(and of course the AutoCompleteTextView is doing nothing). Can anybody see what's wrong? public class MainActivity extends Activity implements TextWatcher { // private AutoCompleteView autoComplete; public String TAG = new String("MAINACTIVITY"); public ArrayAdapter<String>

I have an AutoCompleteTextView that dynamically updates the list of suggestions as the user types. My problem is that as I type the list gets updated but the drop-down isn't shown! But when I delete a character (backspace) the drop-down shows up! I even tried to explicitly call the autoText.showDropDown(); after the text change but it doesn't work. Here is my TextChangedListener : private TextWatcher textChecker = new TextWatcher() { @Override public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i2, int i3) { } @Override public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i

I have a DialogFragment that contains AutoCompleteTextView , and Cancel and OK buttons. The AutoCompleteTextView is giving suggestions of usernames that I'm getting from server. What I want to do is to restrict the user to be able to enter only existing usernames. I know I can do check if that username exists when the user clicks OK , but is there some other way, let's say not allow the user to enter character if there doesn't exist such username. I don't know how to do this because on each entered character I'm getting only up to 5 suggestions. The server is implemented that way. Any
