Question

I want to use AutoCompleteTextview for a list I have. I am using also an Adapter where I add the list. I want to print the element I click on. I use the following code but it does not work.

myAutoComplete.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

    String selected;
    boolean click = false;                  
    public void onItemClick (AdapterView<?> parentView,View selectedItemView,int position, long id) {
        //code
    }
}

Also how to disable the ability to write in the AutoCompleteTextview? I don’t want to write anything. I just want to print a list and select an element from it (including the first element).

Here is the layout xml file.

<AutoCompleteTextView
    android:id="@+id/myautocomplete"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="0.95"
    android:background="@android:color/black"
    android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

If you don’t want to write anything on autoCompleteTextView and select items, you have to implement the SPINNER is more great

put this on your xml file

<Spinner
    android:id="@+id/mySpinner"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="40dp" />

in your code

ArrayAdapter quartadapter = new ArrayAdapter(
        this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, CONSTANT.LISTPAIMENT);
quartadapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);

Spinner sp = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.mySpinner);
sp.setAdapter(quartadapter);

after you can use

sp.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

    String selected;
    boolean click = false;                  
    public void onItemClick (AdapterView<?> parentView,View selectedItemView,int position, long id) {
        //code
    }
});
