I am trying to set a custom ArrayAdapter
for my AutoCompleteTextView
like this
public class AutoCompleteContactArrayAdapter extends
ArrayAdapter<Map<String, String>> implements Filterable {
private Context mContext;
private List<Map<String, String>> mContactList;
public AutoCompleteContactArrayAdapter(Context context,
List<Map<String, String>> objects) {
super(context, R.layout.auto_contact_list, objects);
mContext = context;
mContactList = objects;
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.auto_contact_list, parent,
false);
TextView nameView = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.ccontName);
TextView phoneView = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.ccontNo);
TextView typeView = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.ccontType);
Map<String, String> contactMap = mContactList.get(position);
nameView.setText(contactMap.get("name"));
phoneView.setText(contactMap.get("phone"));
typeView.setText(contactMap.get("type"));
return rowView;
}
@Override
public Filter getFilter() {
return new Filter() {
@Override
protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint,
FilterResults results) {
if (results.count > 0) {
notifyDataSetChanged();
} else {
notifyDataSetInvalidated();
}
}
@Override
protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
ArrayList<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();
result.add("test");
result.add("another");
result.add("last");
FilterResults r = new FilterResults();
r.values = result;
r.count = result.size();
return r;
}
};
}
}
In debug the application is entering the filter
methods both publishResults()
and performFiltering()
but the result set that is being displayed is not my test array
[test,another,last] instead it just shows all the results ignoring my filter.
In android, we can create an AutoCompleteTextView control in two ways either manually in an XML file or create it in the Activity file programmatically. First we create a new project by following the below steps: Click on File, then New => New Project. After that include the Kotlin support and click on next.
If you want to get suggestions , when you type in an editable text field , you can do this via AutoCompleteTextView. It provides suggestions automatically when the user is typing. The list of suggestions is displayed in a drop down menu from which the user can choose an item to replace the content of the edit box with.
Autocompletetextview uses filter defined in the adapter to get results and show them. So, if you need to create custom adapter, you need to provide implementation for getView and provide a filter class. Show activity on this post.
Autocompletetextview uses Adapter to show auto complete suggestion drop down. Adapater should be filterable and should give view populating data for each item from data list. Autocompletetextview uses filter defined in the adapter to get results and show them.
1- Open Android Studio. Android studio 4.1.2 welcome screen. ( Large preview) 2- Next, open activity_main.xml file, and add the Android autocompletetextview. 3- Now open strings.xml file, and add the array that will populate the Android autocompletetextview dropdown.
So, if you need to create custom adapter, you need to provide implementation for getView and provide a filter class. Show activity on this post. 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.
Here is the current implementation of my code:
The xml
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:id="@+id/searchAutoComplete"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/linearLayout1"
android:background="@drawable/abs__textfield_search_default_holo_light"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/abs__ic_search_api_holo_light"
android:drawableRight="@drawable/abs__ic_clear_holo_light"
android:hint="@string/search"
android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
android:inputType="textAutoComplete|textAutoCorrect" >
The adapter:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Filter;
import android.widget.Filterable;
public class AutoCompleteAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> implements Filterable {
private ArrayList<String> fullList;
private ArrayList<String> mOriginalValues;
private ArrayFilter mFilter;
public AutoCompleteAdapter(Context context, int resource, int textViewResourceId, List<String> objects) {
super(context, resource, textViewResourceId, objects);
fullList = (ArrayList<String>) objects;
mOriginalValues = new ArrayList<String>(fullList);
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return fullList.size();
}
@Override
public String getItem(int position) {
return fullList.get(position);
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
return super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
}
@Override
public Filter getFilter() {
if (mFilter == null) {
mFilter = new ArrayFilter();
}
return mFilter;
}
private class ArrayFilter extends Filter {
private Object lock;
@Override
protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence prefix) {
FilterResults results = new FilterResults();
if (mOriginalValues == null) {
synchronized (lock) {
mOriginalValues = new ArrayList<String>(fullList);
}
}
if (prefix == null || prefix.length() == 0) {
synchronized (lock) {
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(mOriginalValues);
results.values = list;
results.count = list.size();
}
} else {
final String prefixString = prefix.toString().toLowerCase();
ArrayList<String> values = mOriginalValues;
int count = values.size();
ArrayList<String> newValues = new ArrayList<String>(count);
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
String item = values.get(i);
if (item.toLowerCase().contains(prefixString)) {
newValues.add(item);
}
}
results.values = newValues;
results.count = newValues.size();
}
return results;
}
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Override
protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint, FilterResults results) {
if(results.values!=null){
fullList = (ArrayList<String>) results.values;
}else{
fullList = new ArrayList<String>();
}
if (results.count > 0) {
notifyDataSetChanged();
} else {
notifyDataSetInvalidated();
}
}
}
}
And finally in code initialize like this...
ArrayList<String> searchArrayList= new ArrayList<String>();
//initilaze this array with your data
AutoCompleteAdapter adapter = new AutoCompleteAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, android.R.id.text1, searchArrayList);
autoCompleteTextView = (AutoCompleteTextView) customNav.findViewById(R.id.searchAutoComplete);
autoCompleteTextView.setAdapter(adapter);
Done :)
Okay i think i figure out what Luksprog was saying this code works now they key is this
mContactList = (ArrayList<Map<String, String>>) results.values;
in
@Override
public int getCount(){
return mContactList.size();
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.auto_contact_list, parent,
false);
TextView nameView = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.ccontName);
TextView phoneView = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.ccontNo);
TextView typeView = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.ccontType);
Map<String, String> contactMap = mContactList.get(position);
nameView.setText(contactMap.get("name"));
phoneView.setText(contactMap.get("phone"));
typeView.setText(contactMap.get("type"));
return rowView;
}
@Override
public Filter getFilter() {
return new Filter() {
@Override
protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint,
FilterResults results) {
if (results.count > 0) {
mContactList = (ArrayList<Map<String, String>>) results.values;
notifyDataSetChanged();
} else {
notifyDataSetInvalidated();
}
}
@Override
protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
ArrayList<Map<String, String>> result = new ArrayList<Map<String, String>>();
HashMap<String,String> myMap = new HashMap<String,String>();
myMap.put("name", "key");
result.add(myMap);
HashMap<String,String> myMap2 = new HashMap<String,String>();
myMap2.put("name", "is");
result.add(myMap2);
HashMap<String,String> myMap3 = new HashMap<String,String>();
myMap3.put("name", "another");
result.add(myMap3);
FilterResults r = new FilterResults();
r.values = result;
r.count = result.size();
return r;
}
};
}
