Question

I am new to android. I have a keypad and a contact list . I would like to search in contact list using the keypad and the autocompleteTextView. Can someone give me some examples ? I didn’t find on the internet examples with this type of problem.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

      ========>phoneArr====> which contains ur all contacts
    if(phoneArr.length > 0 )
    {
      AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView) this.findViewById(R.id.empphonenumber);
      ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.auto_list_item, phoneArr);
      textView.setAdapter(adapter);
    }

=======>auto_list_item.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
android:textColor="#000">

In this way you can add adapter to the Autocomplete listview.Its better than previous one
