autocompletetextview setonitemselectedlistener not working

autoCompleteTextView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            String selectedItem=autoCompleteTextView.getAdapter().getItem(position).toString();
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),selectedItem ,  Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });

Just get the adapter of AutoCompleteTextView and use the position.

This is a duplicate of this question

However, you need to use AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() not OnItemSelectedListener.

I tested it with success using the following code snippet. Credit to Vogella for the adapter stuff.

    AutoCompleteTextView actv = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autocomplete_textview);

    String[] values = new String[] { "Android", "iPhone", "WindowsMobile",
            "Blackberry", "WebOS", "Ubuntu", "Windows7", "Max OS X",
            "Linux", "OS/2", "Ubuntu", "Windows7", "Max OS X", "Linux",
            "OS/2", "Ubuntu", "Windows7", "Max OS X", "Linux", "OS/2",
            "Android", "iPhone", "WindowsMobile" };

    ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (int i = 0; i < values.length; ++i) {
        list.add(values[i]);
    }
    final ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, list);
    actv.setAdapter(adapter);

    actv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                int position, long id) {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
                    adapter.getItem(position).toString(),
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
