I have AutoCompleteTextViewone that dynamically updates the list of offers by user type. My problem is that as you enter the list, the list is updated, but the drop-down list does not appear! But when I delete the character (backspace), a popup menu appears!
I even tried to explicitly call autoText.showDropDown();after changing the text, but it does not work.
Here is mine TextChangedListener:
private TextWatcher textChecker = new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i2, int i3) {
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i2, int i3) {
if(autoText.length()>9){
new GeoTask().execute();
}
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
if(autoText.length()>9){
autoText.showDropDown();
Log.i("UPDATE","showDropDown");
}
}
};
I even tried resetting the adapter above autoText.showDropDown();, but still nothing:
autoText.setAdapter(null);
autoText.setAdapter(adapter);
Is there any way to make it work?
EDIT . Here is the complete action code. Maybe someone can find what I'm doing wrong ...
public class TestDoctor extends Activity {
TextView latText;
TextView lngText;
AutoCompleteTextView autoText;
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.test_doctor);
latText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.latTextView);
lngText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.longTextView);
autoText = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView);
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonDoctor);
button.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
new GeoTask().execute();
}
});
autoText.setThreshold(10);
autoText.setHint("Οδός Αριθμός, Περιοχή");
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line);
autoText.setAdapter(adapter);
adapter.setNotifyOnChange(true);
autoText.addTextChangedListener(textChecker);
}
