autocompletetextview

I've got to set an autocompletion for my application. I've already understood the AutoCompleteTextView operation, but I'd like to dynamically modify the String[] used by android autocompletion. What I wanna do : call a PHP page which will give me a String[] that I'll use in my AutoCompleteTextView, but i wanna do that ONLY if a key was pressed at least 500 milliseconds after the last one. EDIT : Okay, I was wrong. I want to have my asynctask running if NO KEY is pressed in the 500 milliseconds after the last press (you know, avoiding overcharging our servers by calling a request on every

I've seen this question asked some other times on the site, but no one couldn't get any answer. Is there any way to customize the appearance of the divider in the dropdown showing when using an AutocompleteTextview in android? It's pretty easy for a ListView, but using only an ArrayAdapter for the autocompletetextview, is there any way to customize the divider. (Not the textview, I already know doing that) Im not sure how you can do it for single AutoCompleteTextView but I know how to set it for the whole application. This should also help you :) <style name="MyTheme" parent="AppTheme"> <item

I want to add an AutoCompleteTextView in my app and search contacts by name and number as done in the native SMS app with android. I have looked on the internet and tried quite a few things, but I want my application to display it exactly as the android SMS app. Here is the code I am trying that searches only by Display_Name . public class MakePayment extends Activity { private AutoCompleteTextView mAuto; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.makepayment); mAuto =

Continuing from my previous post, I was able to set multiple elements to the MultiAutoCompleteTextView but I was not able to wrap those items with custom background and close button as in that link picture. I was able to do the same with single element but for multiple, ran out of luck. This is what I tried. // set text to MultiAutoCompleteTextView private void setTextSample(String contactName) { final SpannableStringBuilder sb = new SpannableStringBuilder(); TextView tv = (TextView) LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.textview, null); tv.setText(contactName); BitmapDrawable bd =

I'm retrieving a list of strings from a webservice and I want to list them up on a AutoCompleteTextField regardless of the built-in AutoCompleteTextField filters. How do I do that? is there a way to disable it's inner filtering easily (preferably without subclassing) I've loaded all my results into a ArrayAdapter , the problem is that some of them don't show up because of the filtering. If I'm going in the wrong direction please point me to the right direction. Krzysztow Probably @Alon meant subclassing ArrayAdapter , instead of AutoCompleteTextView . In getFilter() method one has to return a

I have an array ( array1 with States ) and AutoCompleteTextview in which I'm filling it with array1 . When I select the value from AutocompleteTextView I select a state from AutoCompleteTextView Dropdown What I want is to get the position of the item from array1 which I've selected. What I've tried is OnClickEvent of AutocompelteTextView . STATE.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(){ @Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long rowId) { String selection = (String) parent.getItemAtPosition(position); String num = selection; } }); It ss giving

If I want to load a list of data into an AutoCompleteTextView in android from Firebase, how will I do that? How I'd imagine it: I get the data using something similar to a FirebaseRecyclerAdapter , and set that adapter to the ACTV. For example, if I have this data: AutoComplete:{ JKDJKADJKADFJAKD:{ name:"Hakuna Matata , your orangeness -- I mean your highness, Mr. Trump!" } JDKIKSLAIJDKDIKA:{ name:"Hakuna Matata! I ask not to take offense by the previous statement." } } The ACTV should have both statements as suggestions when I type in "Hakuna Matata". Is there any special Firebase adapter for

I have an AutoCompleteTextView set to use a cursor which goes over my Contacts. The problem is, I have it populating the dropdown correctly, but its not filtering the results after I type. Here is my code for the cursor and setting of the adapter: edt_Contact = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.compose_edtContact); cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, new String[] {Phone._ID, Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, Phone.NUMBER}, null,null,null); startManagingCursor(cursor); String[] from = new String[] { Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, Phone.NUMBER}; int[] to = new

How can I convert an ArrayAdapter<String> of static data into a CursorAdapter for using Suggestion Listener in SearchView ? I have constructed the ArrayAdapter<String> from static data ( allString ) ArrayAdapter<String> searchAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(context, R.layout.listitem, allString); and I use it for an MultiAutoCompleteTextView which works fine in devices with API level less than 11 MultiAutoCompleteTextView findTextView.setAdapter(searchAdapter); However my target API is level is 11 and for API>10 I use an ActionBar within which I would like to have a SearchView instead.
