Android :: AutoCompleteTextView And SimpleCursorAdapter
Apr 14, 2009I 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, 2009I 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, 2009So 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.

Nov 14, 2009I 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?

Nov 4, 2009I'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.

Jun 20, 2010I 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?

May 28, 2009I'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 :: Selection List Cut Off In AutoCompleteTextView In Dialog
Jul 18, 2010I 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.

Jun 1, 2010I 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid : Way To Scroll Through AutoCompleteTextView In Landscape With Onscreen Keyboard
Jun 2, 2009Is 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: How To Disable Dropdown List Auto-opening In AutoCompleteTextView
Mar 19, 2012In 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.

Aug 27, 2010One of the things I liked about Sense (I'm rooted now and running the Second Wave ROM) was the HTC weather animations when the screen was unlocked. After installing Widget Locker, I noticed an option to turn them on and now I have them back! I also installed the Weather & Toggle Widget and installed the weather skin that looks just like the Sense weather with the flip clock.The annoying part is that when it's sunny, or partly sunny, the "sun animation" from Sense doesn't perfectly align with the Weather & Toggle Widget weather icon. I know, I know, it's a minor problem and goes away when the animation is done, but the lack of symmetry sometimes annoys the hell out of me.

May 1, 2010I can create a static widget without thinking, I can even create a widget like the analogue clock widget that will update itself, however, I can not for the life of me figure out how to create a widget that reacts to when a user clicks on it. Here is the best code sample that the developer documentation gives to what a widget activity should contain (the only other hint being the API demos, which only creates a static widget):
public class ExampleAppWidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
final int N = appWidgetIds.length;
// Perform this loop procedure for each App Widget that belongs to this provider
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];
// Create an Intent to launch ExampleActivity
Intent intent = new Intent(context, ExampleActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);
// Get the layout for the App Widget and attach an on-click listener to the button
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.appwidget_provider_layout);

I know you helped twitter build their application.
