How to add a custom adapter to an AutoCompleteTextView
Here Code is working for me,
Set This adapter to autocompletetextview
AutoCompleteTextView etProductSearch = (AutoCompleteTextView)getView().findViewById(R.id.edtSearchBoxTakeOrder);
ProductSearchAdapter adapter = new ProductSearchAdapter(getActivity(), android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, productList);
etProductSearch.setAdapter(adapter );
ProductSearchAdapter class
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Filter;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class ProductSearchAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<ProductDataModel> {
private ArrayList<ProductDataModel> items;
private ArrayList<ProductDataModel> itemsAll;
private ArrayList<ProductDataModel> suggestions;
private int viewResourceId;
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public ProductSearchAdapter(Context context, int viewResourceId,
ArrayList<ProductDataModel> items) {
super(context, viewResourceId, items);
this.items = items;
this.itemsAll = (ArrayList<ProductDataModel>) items.clone();
this.suggestions = new ArrayList<ProductDataModel>();
this.viewResourceId = viewResourceId;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View v = convertView;
if (v == null) {
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(
Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
v = vi.inflate(viewResourceId, null);
}
ProductDataModel product = items.get(position);
if (product != null) {
TextView productLabel = (TextView) v.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
if (productLabel != null) {
productLabel.setText(product.getProductName());
}
}
return v;
}
@Override
public Filter getFilter() {
return nameFilter;
}
Filter nameFilter = new Filter() {
public String convertResultToString(Object resultValue) {
String str = ((ProductDataModel) (resultValue)).getProductName();
return str;
}
@Override
protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
if (constraint != null) {
suggestions.clear();
for (ProductDataModel product : itemsAll) {
if (product.getProductName().toLowerCase()
.startsWith(constraint.toString().toLowerCase())) {
suggestions.add(product);
}
}
FilterResults filterResults = new FilterResults();
filterResults.values = suggestions;
filterResults.count = suggestions.size();
return filterResults;
} else {
return new FilterResults();
}
}
@Override
protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint,
FilterResults results) {
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
ArrayList<ProductDataModel> filteredList = (ArrayList<ProductDataModel>) results.values;
if (results != null && results.count > 0) {
clear();
for (ProductDataModel c : filteredList) {
add(c);
}
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
};
}
According to the documentation, the inferred type of setAdapter in AutoCompleteTextView is :
<T extends ListAdapter & Filterable> void setAdapter(T adapter)
Your adapter must be a ListAdapter (which BaseAdapter is, so far so good) and a Filterable, which BaseAdapter is not, nor is your Adapter implementation. I would extend an ArrayAdapter, which is Filterable, not to mention is would simplify your implementation (some of your methods duplicate methods of ArrayAdapter for the same result) :
public class TwoLineDropdownAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<TwoLineDropDown> {
private LayoutInflater mInflater = null;
private Activity activity;
public TwoLineDropdownAdapter(Activity a, ArrayList<TwoLineDropDown> items) {
super(a, 0, items);
activity = a;
mInflater = (LayoutInflater) activity
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
public static class ViewHolder {
public TextView title;
public TextView description;
}
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder holder;
if (convertView == null) {
holder = new ViewHolder();
convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.dropdown_text_twoline,
parent, false);
holder.title = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.text1);
holder.description = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.text2);
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
return convertView;
}
}
