Question

Here in my app I create a dialog box which contain an autocomplete view. In the autoComplete view I want it to pop down the suggestions.when I enter names. But the problem is that it gives only 2 suggestions.

Here is the code for my autocomplete view in the XML file

<com.example.netmdapp1.CustomAutoCompleteTextView
    android:id="@+id/customautocomplete"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textColor="@android:color/black"
    android:completionThreshold="3"
    android:scrollbars="vertical" />

And here is my CustomAutoCompleteTextView class

public class CustomAutoCompleteTextView extends AutoCompleteTextView {
    HashMap<String, String>hm;

    public CustomAutoCompleteTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    @Override
    protected CharSequence convertSelectionToString(Object selectedItem) {
         hm = (HashMap<String, String>)selectedItem;
         return hm.get("name");
    }

    public String getid() {
        return hm.get("id");
    }
}

And the code for set adapter to my autocomplete textView is given below

final CustomAutoCompleteTextView autoComplete = new CustomAutoCompleteTextView(getParent(), null);
SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(getParent(), patientList, R.layout.autocomplete_texts, from, to);
