I wanted to use AutoCompleteTextView in my android application.I know how to use it with simple array of Strings, but I wanted AutoCompleteTextView to use list of Objects t
You can override getItem in this adapter, depend on each type to convert it into String
override fun getItem(position: Int): String? {
val item = listData[position]
when (item) {
is BankItem -> {
return item.bankName
}
....
}
if you are wanna add the data in String[] arr=new String[100]; then its wrong. You can do the same work as in form of ArrayList but remember you will never put here a Getter/Setter class. Just simply declare it. See this example.
Declare in main partition:
ArrayList<String>arr=new ArrayList<>();
and then initilize it in this way:
for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonObject1 = (JSONObject) jsonArray.get(i);
String imei = jsonObject1.getString("imei");
String name = jsonObject1.getString("name");
String my_pic = jsonObject1.getString("my_pic");
String email = jsonObject1.getString("email");
arr.add(name);
}
adapter= new ArrayAdapter<>
(this, android.R.layout.select_dialog_item, arr);
autoCompleteText.setThreshold(1);//will start working from first character
autoCompleteText.setAdapter(adapter);//setting the adapter data into the AutoCompleteTextView
autoCompleteText.setTextColor(Color.RED);
}
I hope this will work for you....
You can use an AbstractList
to get the String
representation of each item in your object list.
private void setupAutoComplete(AutoCompleteTextView view, List<T> objects) {
List<String> names = new AbstractList<String>() {
@Override
public int size() { return objects.size(); }
@Override
public String get(int location) {
return objects.get(location).getName();
}
};
view.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, names));
}
Two ways:
Override toString()
in Student
class and make it return name
.
You can get the object that was selected with the following code:
public static class Student {
private String name;
public Student(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return name;
}
}
AutoCompleteTextView tv = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1);
final ArrayList<Student> list = new ArrayList<MainActivity.Student>();
list.add(new Student("Viru"));
list.add(new Student("Gauti"));
ArrayAdapter<Student> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<MainActivity.Student>(
this, android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, list);
tv.setAdapter(adapter);
tv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
long arg3) {
Student selected = (Student) arg0.getAdapter().getItem(arg2);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
"Clicked " + arg2 + " name: " + selected.name,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
Implement a custom adapter (by extending BaseAdapter
class or ArrayAdapter<Student>
class) Check this tutorial : http://www.ezzylearning.com/tutorial.aspx?tid=1763429
