Autocomplete text in android?
i don't think you have to create custom adapter. its default functionality which you want. check this
here i have array like:
private static final String[] COUNTRIES = new String[] { "Belgium",
"France", "France_", "Italy", "Germany", "Spain","abcf","FFa","FFb","bFF","aFF" };
when i search ff then its give me only 2("FFa","FFb")
suggestion not 4("FFa","FFb","bFF","aFF")
i have used this in ActionBar. you can also use this in layout. because its custom layout in ActionBar.
public class TestActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private static final String[] COUNTRIES = new String[] { "Belgium",
"France", "France_", "Italy", "Germany", "Spain","abcf","FFa","FFb","bFF","aFF" };
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
// actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
// actionBar.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_action_search);
LayoutInflater inflator = (LayoutInflater) this
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View v = inflator.inflate(R.layout.test, null);
actionBar.setCustomView(v);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, COUNTRIES);
AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView) v
.findViewById(R.id.editText1);
textView.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}
test.xml
