Setting value in AutoCompleteTextView

Question

I have a AutoCompleteTextView with a list of items, and I need select one of them...

I am doing something like:

myAutoCompleteTextView.setListSelection( index);

and...

myAutoCompleteTextView.setText( index);

but don't work... How can I set a item by default?

Answer 1

This will not work because setText takes a CharSequence.

myAutoCompleteTextView.setText(index);

public final void setText (CharSequence text)

If you have a data structure such as a List<String> data, you can do something like this:

myAutoCompleteTextView.setText(data.get(index));
