How to replace the comma with a space when I use the "MultiAutoCompleteTextView"

Question

I'm doing a simple program using MultiAutoCompleteTextView to prompt the common words when I input several letters.

code:

    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
            this,
            android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, 
            ary);
    MultiAutoCompleteTextView textView = (MultiAutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.editText);
    textView.setAdapter(adapter);

    textView.setTokenizer(new MultiAutoCompleteTextView.CommaTokenizer());

    private String[] ary = new String[] {
       "abc",
       "abcd",
       "abcde",
       "abcdef",
       "abcdefg",
       "hij",
       "hijk",
       "hijkl",
       "hijklm",
       "hijklmn",
    };

Now,when I input 'a' and choose "abcd" but the result become to "abcd,". How to replace the comma with a space?

Thank you!

The way to do it would be to implement your own Tokenizer. The reason the comma comes up is because you're using CommaTokenizer, which is designed to do exactly that. You can also look at the source code for CommaTokenizer if you need a reference for how to implement your own SpaceTokenizer.
