Android AutocompleteTextView using ArrayAdapter and Filter

Question

Backgroud information

The app I am currently writing deals with places. The main method to create a place is to enter an address. Providing a convenient way to do

Answer 1

I think your problem is you are setting lastSuggested to suggested (via filterResults.values) and then, in the next pass, you are updating suggested --> lastSuggested will be set to the same value as suggested as Java passes variables by reference unless primitives.

So, instead of

if ( filterResults.count > 0) { lastSuggested = (ArrayList) filterResults.values; }

You should try

if ( filterResults.count > 0) {
    lastSuggested.clear();
    ArrayList
 tempList = (ArrayList
) filterResults.values;
    int i = 0;
    while (i < tempList.size()){
        lastSuggested.add(tempList.get(i));
        i += 1;
    }
}
