AutoCompleteTextView item selection programmatically

Question

I have an autocomplete text view that is filled with cities from an sqlite database that calls an async task on item click, recently I added an option to detect my location usin

Answer 1

Try with adding below after setText() in AutoCompleteTextview:-

autoCompleteTV.setSelection(position);

Updated:

This will work in Spinner and AutoCompleteTextView which has dropdown feature, but it will not work with EditText.

Here you can check docs for AbsSpinner in this link: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AbsSpinner.html#setSelection(int)
