AutoCompleteTextview Color set white by default

问题

I used an AutoCompleteTextView in my android app and it is working correctly. The only problem I am facing is that the color of the suggestions is white by default that is i am not able to see any suggestions. So when i start typing something the list expands with white entries(invisible), but when i click on any item i find that it is working as it should be. Only the color seems to be the problem. I am using the following code.

<AutoCompleteTextView android:id="@+id/location"  android:textColor="#000000"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></AutoCompleteTextView>

and

 ArrayAdapter<String> autoadapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line,cities);
            city = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.location);
            city.setAdapter(autoadapter);
            city.setThreshold(1);
            city.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);

Can anyone please tell me what the problem is??
-Thanks in advance

Auto complete text view bug

Bug solution

Note: This solution will not work with lollipop

I hope it helps...

回答2:

I tried setting up the theme before setcontext, tried different resources parameter in arrayAdapter and tried different theme ,but nothing helped.

Then I changed the context from 'this' to 'getApplicationContext' but the problem was persistent.

Finally I changed the context parameter to "getBaseContext()" and the problem was solved.

回答3:

For Lollipop, all the work around solutions in the reported bug will not work.

I finally reached a solution that works with lollipop and the previous OS versions by using android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item with the adapter instead as the following:

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(getContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, suggestionList);

This will solve the White text issue without any need to change Theme attributes or anything.

回答4:

You can use simple_list_item_1 in ArrayAdapter,

ArrayAdapter<String> autoadapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,cities);
            city = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.location);

Another solution is to quit the style in AndroidManifest.xml

NOTE: This solution does not work with lollipop OS versions

Well, we can't set the "suggestion text" color, but we can change its background! Just use android:popupBackground="YOUR_COLOR_HEX" as in this example:

<AutoCompleteTextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/autocompletetextview"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:hint=" ... "
        android:popupBackground="#000000"/>

Works also on Lollipop! ;)

回答6:

You should use

setTheme(android.R.style.Theme); before setContentView

It worked for me :)

回答7:

Set background color of pop up ascity.setDropDownBackgroundResource(R.color.indicator);

回答8:

if anyone still have the same issue

This worked for me

autocompleteF.setBackgroundColor(color.black);

回答9:

Add this to your theme:

<item name="android:autoCompleteTextViewStyle">@style/Widget.AppCompat.AutoCompleteTextView</item>

回答10:

This worked for me First use this before setContentView()

setTheme(android.R.style.TextAppearance_DeviceDefault_Medium_Inverse);

you have to change some colors in colors.xml in the values folder
