Android :: Selection List Cut Off In AutoCompleteTextView In Dialog

Jul 18, 2010

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.

General :: How To Disable Dropdown List Auto-opening In AutoCompleteTextView

Mar 19, 2012

In my android app I use AutoCompleteTextView and refresh items list for each 5 seconds. Refreshing is working, when I call notifyDataSetChanged(). But when I type here something and it'll give me the list of matching items and then I close it manually, when another thread is refreshing the list and calling notifyDataSetChanged() dropdown list is showing automatically (even if I closed it before). And it's really annoying, because if list is long it takes whole screen and after closing it'll appear in another 5 secounds. I tried dismissDropDown() just after calling notifyDataSetChanged(), but it doesn't have any effect. It looks like dropdown is showing with a little delay. It's also not good way to fix it, because if user hasn't closed the list it'll close after a refresh. Also tried to take focus away - still no effect.

So I need a method to: update my items list (via notifyDataSetChanged()) without automatically showing dropdown list, but if dropdown was already showed don't close it.

Android :: Drop Down List And No Text Input

Apr 9, 2010

I have an AutoCompleteTextView defined as the following inside a RelativeLayout,

<AutoCompleteTextView android:id="@+id/edit_tag"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="@string/tag"
android:inputType="text"
android:imeOptions="actionNext" />

When I touch on a choice from the drop down list, instead of setting the text of this view to the one I chose, it clears the view as if no text has been inputted. I tried to debug this and walked through the execution of the program step by step. It seems to have been cleared at around line 123 in Looper.java, which I cannot see the source.

Android :: Disappearing Dividers In Spinner Drop-down List

Sep 24, 2010

I am writing my first simple Android App: It loads temperature samples from a Java based measurement system (CSV via HTTP), shows the available channels in a Spinner and when a channel is selected, it shows the corresponding value and a timestamp in two TextViews. The App works fine, except a little cosmetic problem: The items in the drop-down list are separated by a horizontal line (divider) and depending on the scroll position, some lines disappear and appear again, when I scroll some more pixels up or down. The phenomenon happens on the emulator screen as well as on the handheld display (HTC Wildfire). Seems to be a screen resultion problem. Does anyone have a hint how to avoid this?

See my code below...

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Contacts Don't Show Up On Drop Down List

Jul 1, 2010

When I try and send a new message, or forward a message some of my contacts don't show up on the drop down list. I'll type the first few characters of their name and it will bring up a list of the names in my contacts directory but some names are missing so I cannot send a text in the normal manner (I know I can find the contact through the dialler and send a message that way but that doesn't help if I try and forward a message). I've looked to see if there are any strange spaces in the names etc but I cannot fathom out why some of my contacts are missing from the drop down lict in messages. Anyone else have this problem or know a solution?

Motorola Droid X :: How To Get Missing Contacts Displayed In List?

Aug 3, 2010

If you have missing contacts in your contact list (even if all contacts is selected) but when you search for them they come up, here is the worlds easiest fix. Log into your google mail on your computers browser, click "contacts". In the left hand column the 1st row says "my contacts", note the total.Now 2nd to the bottom there it says "all contacts". If that total is more, click on it. At the top of the list of names click "all", In the column to the right there is a box that says "add to my contacts", Dont worry it will not duplicate contacts. Click on "add to my contacts" Now after this my phone started syncing contacts automatically, if yours does not, force the sync in the settings, accounts, google. as soon as its done, your missing contacts are now displayed.

HTC Droid Eris :: Recipient List Displayed Before Opening Message

Jan 13, 2010

I currently have my work Groupwise e-mail forwarded (using a rule in Groupwise) to my Gmail. Only problem is that many folks at work use group distribution lists to send out e-mails. Many of these lists have hundreds of recipients. When I open these e-mails on my phone I often have pages of recipients to scroll through before I ever get to the message.

HTC Droid Eris : Drop Down List Of Possible Choices - While Long Press Search Button

Jun 24, 2010

I have a question regarding a feature that just seemed to disappear from Handcent SMS.

Before, when I composed a message in the app or using quick compose (long press search button), there would be a drop down list of possible choices when I began typing in the "To:" field. For example, if I typed "k", it would show names beginning with "k". But now the feature is gone and it really sucks when I want to compose a text.

Does anyone else have this issue? Is it Handcent's problem or a software problem (v2.1 bug?), and does anyone know how to fix it?

Android :: AutoCompleteTextView And SimpleCursorAdapter

Apr 14, 2009

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.

Android :: How To Use AutoCompleteTextView With SimpleCursorAdapter

Apr 8, 2009

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 :: How To Disable Autocomplete On AutoCompleteTextView

Dec 5, 2009

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 Doesn't Work

Nov 14, 2009

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

Nov 4, 2009

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

Jun 20, 2010

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?

May 28, 2009

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.
