How to use SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() in searchable spinner?

Question

I'm creating a searchable spinner using third party library. I have added library classes(SearchableListDialog, SearchableSpinner) in my app. Everything is working fine but still one problem I'm facing for example, In search-view widget if I search Abc, I'm not getting the result filtered as Abc but when clicking on the list-view items, results is showing item as Abc. It is like the position is change for the items but the list is not showing the searchable result. I'm not getting where is I'm wrong. I modified code many times but didn't get desirable result.

Searchable Spinner xml code:

 <com.example.my.currencyconverterapp.activity.SearchableSpinner
                    android:id="@+id/spinner"
                    android:layout_below="@+id/rl_currency_converterted_data"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />  

This is my Fragment code where I'm setting a adapter to searchable spinner.

countriesCustomAdapterInr = new CountriesCustomAdapterInr(getActivity(), R.layout.custom_spinner_items, arrayList,res);
        spinner.setAdapter(countriesCustomAdapterInr);
        assert spinner != null;
        spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
                Toast.makeText(getActivity(), ""+arrayList.get(i).getFull_name()+i, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }

            @Override
            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView) {}
        });  

This is third party SearchableSpinner class:

public class SearchableSpinner extends android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatSpinner implements View.OnTouchListener,

    }

        super(context, attrs);
        this._context = context;
        TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.SearchableSpinner);
        final int N = a.getIndexCount();
        for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
            int attr = a.getIndex(i);
            if (attr == R.styleable.SearchableSpinner_hintText) {
                _strHintText = a.getString(attr);
            }
        }
        a.recycle();
        init();
    }

    }

    public interface OnSearchTextChanged {
        void onSearchTextChanged(String strText);
    }
}  

Here OnQueryTextListener() not working fine. Please help me. I tried but didn't any solution. Can anyone please help me. Above, I have mentioned my query. Thanks

Answer 1

Instead of using a Spinner with SearchView, I would suggest you to achieve this with ListView and SearchView, I tried and it works very well.

Put a button on your activity. Now clicking on this button will open a custom dialog.

Your custom_dialog.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
        android:id="@+id/searchView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

</LinearLayout>

Then set your button onClick event and do the following.

 @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Dialog dialog = new Dialog(SearchText.this);
                LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(SearchText.this);
                View view1 = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_search_layout, null);
                ListView listView = view1.findViewById(R.id.listView);
                SearchView searchView = view1.findViewById(R.id.searchView);

                final ArrayAdapter<String> stringArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(SearchText.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, getResources().getStringArray(R.array.my_currency));
                listView.setAdapter(stringArrayAdapter);

                searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
                    @Override
                    public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String newText) {
                        return false;
                    }

                    @Override
                    public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
                        stringArrayAdapter.getFilter().filter(newText);
                        return false;
                    }
                });
                dialog.setContentView(view1);
                dialog.show();
            }

Now do your search, and add OnItemClickListener on your listview, and do whatever you want after selecting your choice.
