Is it possible to have an EditTextPreference with AutoComplete attached to it?I know ho to attach one to an element with an id, but am having trouble figure out how to attach the ArrayAdapter to the preference field.This is wrong, but it's as close as I can get.

I have a shared preference that is being accesed via an EditTextPreference. I am in the process of porting this application to a device that does not have a hardware keyboard for text entry. When the time comes to modify the EditTextPreference, there is no soft keyboard that becomes available, and I am at a loss as to how to invoke the soft keyboard for text input to edit this preference.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to use EditTextPreference to show 2 input fields instead of 1. For instance, a username and password field should be shown. I don't want to use a dialog for each one. How can this be done? In the WiFi settings there is one that does this, when you want connect to a protected network, a dialog shows to set a password for the credential storage with 2 fields.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Preferences dialog with some EditTextPreference elements. The preference values can be edited by end-users when they click on the particular item. However, at the first application launch, I would like to create a sort of wizard to guide the end-users through the configuration. I need to show the EditTextPreference edit dialog programatically. Somehow I need to emulate the end-user clicked on the preference.
Is it possible?
Two activities here, A and B. A is main, B is PreferenceActivity with two EditTextPreference.
I want to be able to access the preferences generated by B from activity A, and for that I need of course (I guess) getSharedPreferences on A. But in order to do that I need to supply the preference file for the activity that generated it. This is tedious (long names), erratic at best (depends on the activity that generated it), and finally it's a mess, because it's much better to keep everything under one xml file, with a name that is well known to all my activities. And besides, if I have 100 activities, how would I keep track of preference files anyway...
So the point is: how do I "bind" an EditTextPreference in a way that the changes are made to a given preference file, not the one automatically generated by Android?
Does anyone have sample code to validate user entered text in preferences? For example, I have a EditTextPreference for user to enter an email address. I'd like to validate the format of email address entered and pop up an alert dialog if the format isn't correct. Anyone have any sample code for this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe preference activity gets inflated by invoking
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
and here are the preferences.xml code...
everything looks okay, but EditTextPreference entries (2 and 3) have arrow-down icons next to them, just like ListPreference (1) does. Why is it so and how can I remove these icons as they look irrelevant?

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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").

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedCan 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to implement a dynamic auto complete widget in android.I am done with the major functionalities and the auto completion implemented is for youtube video search.When I start typing a letter or two, the auto-completion is not working. But when I type three letters or more it works prefect.It also works when I type two letters and hit a backspace.I do not know what is wrong with the code.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing 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.

View 25 Replies View RelatedIn 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.

I now realized I need additional thing - to search for word-starting substrings.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis 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.

Since, this feature is web based. Can this be done in mobile application too?
