Android :: How To Disable Autocomplete On AutoCompleteTextView
So this is a response to another thread, that I never got a reaction on. Hopefully someone can give a hand. I have a AutoCompleteTextView with a CursorAdapter with data. I need to be able to set a text in the AutoCompleteTextView programmatically without the autocomplete mechanism kicking in. If I use *setText *on the AutoCompleteTextView it will start the autocomplete. I tried calling *dismissDropDown() after setText, but this dosnt work because the drop down is not shown yet.

Android :: AutoCompleteTextView And SimpleCursorAdapter
I am trying to connect a AutoCompleteTextView with a SimpleCursorAdapter, which narrows down the selection of a list of words, when the user starts typing. Following some other posts here, I've come up with the following code, but it doesn't work. I defined a FilterQueryProvider runQuery() method for the SimpleCursor Adapter, but when I use the debugger in the code, the response from the ContentResolver.query((0 method call is null. I think the problem is that there is no relationship between the CONTENT_URI and the SQL database, but I can't be sure. CODE:.......................

Android :: How To Use AutoCompleteTextView With SimpleCursorAdapter
I have an application that involves reading a text dictionary file with about 7000 entries, and allowing the user to choose one of these. My first approach was to allow the user to select one of these by using a AutoCompleteTextView together with ArrayAdapter<String>. This works, but is very slow (~10 seconds to update the word list each time the user enters a character to narrow down the choice). I was wondering how to rework it so that I could use a database using a SimpleCursorAdapter instead. In other words, to hope that a SQL database could provide a more efficient ordering and access for the elements. Is this the best way to do it? I've also seen several references to SQLiteDatabase, but don't know which one to use. I found this code fragmant consisting of an extended SimpleAdapter. http://sacoskun.blogspot.com/2008/08...leadapter.html<http://sacoskun.blogspot.com/2008/08/autocompletetextview-with-simple...> Unfortunately, this is not a complete worked out example. Could someone forward me a more complete example? I've found lots of code fragments, but no code that shows how to initialise the SimpleCursorAdapter contents, or how it works together with the AutoCompleteTextView.

Android :: AutoCompleteTextView Doesn't Work
I can't seem to get AutoCompleteTextView to work with Theme.Light.The problem is the autocomplete popup draws the suggestions text in white on a white background. You can only see what the suggestions are after they are selected, because then the white text is drawn over top of the selector background.It works fine with the default theme but not with Theme.Light.I tried setting the android:textColor attribute.That only set the color for the AutoCompeleteTextView input box, not for the suggestion's popup.Right now the only way to get my app to work properly is to use the default theme.Does anyone else have the same issue or know of a way to programically set the suggestion's popup text color or background?

Android :: AutoCompleteTextView Update From Thread
I've posted this in a couple of places without any help so hopefully this group has some helpful people :) I have an AutoCompleteTextView which I want to populate with artist names based on what the user types.The problem is that I have a thread for retrieving the names from a web service, but when I try and update the ArrayAdapter with a Handler on the UI thread (which is called from the web service thread), nothing gets updated on screen. When I type another letter though, then the previous results from web service are displayed in the autocompletetextview rather than the latest.

Android :: AutoCompleteTextView Working With ContentProvider
I have an AutoCompleteTextView working with a ContentProvider that correctly pulls known information from a database when the user is typing and presents it. However, I would also like to support the automatic hints/word choice list you get when using apps like the Messaging app. I haven't figured out how to get that thin bar of word choices to appear. Can some one clue me in on how to use that in combination with my existing ContentProvider?

Android :: AutoCompleteTextView In Eclipse Layout Editor?
I'm porting an app of mine to work better with API 1.5, and I'm having problems with the layout files where I'm using an AutoCompleteTextView (and, naturally, MultiAutoCompleteTextView). Whenever I have them present in a layout, the graphical representation of the layout disappears, and "NullPointerException: null" replaces it. Is there any way I can view a widget such as this in the Eclipse editor? It definitely worked in the 1.1 SDK, otherwise I wouldn't have used them.

Android :: GetText() On AutoCompleteTextView Returns SpannableStringBuilder
I have an AutoCompleteTextView with a MatrixCursor as an adapter. The AutoCompleteTextView has a OnItemClickListener as follows: CODE:............... When an item is selected I see following in the log CODE:................ If you see the log, the Before log entry, the getText() returns a SpannableStringBuilder object and toString() of it returns some object identifier. How do I get actual text of the auto-complete view which was there just before clicking drop-down item?

Android :: Selection List Cut Off In AutoCompleteTextView In Dialog
I have a dialog window that covers 1/3 of the entire screen height and is displayed on top of my activity. The dialog holds two AutoCompleteTextView fields. The problem I'm facing is that when the user starts typing something into the AutoCompleteTextView, the list with all suggestions only shows up to the bottom end of the dialog, but doesn't go beyond that even the list is longer. It looks like it's cut off. (screenshot left) Only after I long-press an item from the suggestion list, the list will be shown in full length. (screenshot right) Screenhot is at: http://img704.imageshack.us/i/dialogdropdown.png/ How to fix this behaviour so that the list shows in full length right from the beginning, when the user starts typing something? Code-wise there's nothing special, all I do is: CODE:.......... One workaround idea is to somehow dispatch a motion event to simulate a touch (but then not selecting though) one of the list items. Any concrete idea in code for a solution.

Android :: Should Cursors Used In Autocomplete Adapters Be Managed Or Not?
I'm using an autocomplete box, with suggestions provided by a SimpleQueryAdapter.Not sure if relevant, but only difference I see is that, both in the adapter constructor, as well as in runQuery(), I use a cursor returned by SQLiteDatabase#query obtained via an SQLiteOpenHelper instance.Should I be using on these cursors or not?If I don't use managed cursors, then I get "leak found" warnings ("database was created [sic] but never closed").

Android :: How To Trun Off Spell Check /autocomplete?
I just got my first Android phone (N1), and like it so far.There are a few things that drive me up the wall, though.One of them is the 'autocomplete' (not sure what it's called): where Android suggests words as you type a text message. Great when I'm typing English, not so great when using other languages.Can this be turned off?

Android :: Autocomplete List From SQLite With Criteria
Can someone point me to right direction, how to create an adapter for AutoCompleteTextView, which would be getting data from SQLite DB, using data, which user entered into the text field? I want to use the user-entered data to filter suggestions for autocompletion.I imagine that adapter should always take user-entered data as soon as changes appears and use it for fetching suggestions on-the-fly. Is that possible? So far I've seen many tutorials for autocompletion where static String arrays were used, but never seen them build dynamically.Is it possible to do it automatically or I need always fetch String array myself and pass as ArrayList to adapter on every AutoCompleteTextView change?

HTC EVO 4G :: How Do I Autocomplete Word It's?
Using the stock keyboard, how can I get the word "it's" as a selection? It's amazing it's not there, so I have to manually put in the apostrophe. The capital version (It's) is there, but not lower case.I've clicked on the "+" sign and added the word, but it still doesn't show up as a choice. Any ideas?

Android :: AutoCompleteTextView Static Data / Slow Performance
I am facing the following problem: I have a big list of street names(~2000 entries), which is stored as a variable. I have an AutoCompleteTextView which should complete the names. The process takes really long time(approx. 2 - 3 seconds) to complete the suggestion. Is there any way to speed this up? I am pasting my code, if this is necessary:The getStreetsData() method simply returns the static list of the names.

Android : Way To Scroll Through AutoCompleteTextView In Landscape With Onscreen Keyboard
Is this possible? Lets say I have an ACTV that shows you a list of contacts. If I place a T in the ACTV then it may generate a result of 10 contacts. In landscape mode (physical keyboard not open but phone turned sideways), the dropdown list gets covered by the onscreen keyboard. This will generate completion hints at the top of the keyboard. But these hints do not cover all of the data behind the ACTV. There is no way for the user to scroll through the entire list to see all of the data. There should be someway to force the ACTV to scroll as I move through the onscreen completion hints. This would be an acceptable replacement of the ACTV list. There does not seem to be any such association. Also, there does not seem to be any public association between the completion hints and your ACTV adapter. Currently, the only way that I know of matching a view(custom and holds data such as phone #, etc) referenced by my ACTV adapter is to do a match on the text placed in the ACTV when selected from the completion hint. I am posting here as the http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/5... thread appears to be dead.

Android :: Search Suggestions / Autocomplete OnClick Behavior
I cannot seem to dictate the behavior of the onClick function.When a suggestion is clicked, it fires off the intent immediately. Is there a way for it to instead of firing off the intent immediately,simply copy and paste the suggestion as part of the search string?Eg. when typing in J,o,h the suggestion "John" comes up. When I click "John" can it copy that text into the search bar instead of immediately processing the search with John?I'm assuming theres a simple configuration which I cant seem to find.I dont want to go extensively into catching the fired of intent and re-processing etc

Android :: Sorting Results When Autocomplete Matches Multiple Columns In SQL
I've run into an issue with an autocomplete field I'm working on.The field I'm working with is composed of the form "<NAME> (<CODE>)".When a user starts typing in text, I want to display any results that match either NAME or CODE.For example, if this list contains items and their codes, like "Personal Computer (PC)", then I'd want the list to pop up that row if the user types "P", "PC", "Per", etc.However, the problem I'm running into now is how to best sort the results that come back from this.For example, If someone enters "PC", I want "Personal Computer (PC)" to be the first result. However, if there's another row (you'll have to bear with me as this is contrived) "PC Case (301)", then there's no simple ordering I can do on the results to ensure that the best match appears first. Ordering by name and code both returns PC Case first.I want a query where it returns the best match first, rather than items in alphabetical order.Is there such a function I can use in SQLite to get this, or should I return the results and then mess with the order in the code?

Android :: Super Fast Autocomplete Using Binary Search In Sorted File
In my Android app I want to have an input field with autocomplete. The number of items will be about 300000. The best solution seems to be to put the items into a file (on sdcard), one item per line, each line would have the same number of characters so that I can seek to specific line number. If the user enters something in the text field, I would binary search (via RandomAccessFile) the file and show suggestions.I want the autocomplete to be super fast (ideally under 100ms but I guess it's impossible), what optimizations I can do? Update 1: I will convert the users input to lowercase english characters (a-z) with spaces. So 'A/b' would be converted to 'a b' and then searched. Uodate 2: I now realized I need additional thing - to search for word-starting substrings.

Motorola Droid 2 :: Keyboard Autocomplete Is Screwy
This is a new issue, not sure what is going on.When I type a message the autocomplete/suggestion from the keyboard is changing words for me that are RIGHT.It usually fixed things that may be spelled wrong pretty accurately, but now it is making changes to good words.For example, i sent my friend a message "ARE YOU GOING TO THE GAME."It kept changing the TO to YOU for no reason."ARE YOU GOING TO YOU GAME." Also, it has stopped suggesting words when I am almost done typing, just shows the current word on the screen instead.I am using Smart Keyboard Pro.

I will like to know if we can continuously call some service for fetching results and displaying in Autocomplete list.I have one screen with the text box and when user starts entering in that textbox the autocomplete should get filled with the data. The data will not be hardcoded and will be fetched through http connection.I think I need to call http connection in onTextChanged method of Edittext but is that the perfect solution.Moreover, should this type of implementation done in mobile application. Since, this feature is web based. Can this be done in mobile application too?

Android :: Android Autocomplete With Contacts

Android :: How To Disable AGC On HTC EVO (Supersonic)?
I'm working on an application that needs to perform recognition algorithms on raw PCM audio captured from the microphone. On all Android devices I've tested, the PCM data is usable (i.e., raw audio data.) This is not the case for the new Sprint EVO. The Sprint EVO has AGC (Auto Gain Control) on the mic, which destroys the data such that our recognition algorithms no longer work. I believe this is a feature that HTC added to the OS for this device (and possibly future devices.) I've tested our application on a few other devices using the same OS version (2.1) and these other devices behave normally. Unfortunately, HTC has not yet posted the code used on this device. I expect that I may have to use JNI in order to bypass this for this specific device, and I'm willing to do this, but without access to the HTC source, I wouldn't know where to begin. There is no way to reverse the effects of AGC, so I'm stuck trying to work around it.
