  1. POAndroid autocompletetextview won't populate contacts with custom adapter
    text
    copied!<p>I've created a custom adapter and custom list item. I was originally using a simple list item and just populated either the name or the number. However, now I'd like to show both the name and phone number in each list item. When I type something now into the autocomplete text it won't populate any anything. I did some error testing and it seems that it isn't even calling the overridden getView() method. I can't seem to figure out why this isn't working.</p> <p>Also, yes I've added the READ_CONTACTS permission in the manifest. </p> <p><strong>MainActivity.java</strong></p> <pre><code>package com.sncrmck.autocompletetest; import java.util.ArrayList; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.ContentResolver; import android.database.Cursor; import android.net.Uri; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.Menu; import android.widget.AutoCompleteTextView; import com.sncrmck.adapter.ContactAdapter; import com.sncrmck.obj.SimpleContact.SimpleContact; public class MainActivity extends Activity { AutoCompleteTextView acTextField; private ContactAdapter adapter; public ArrayList&lt;SimpleContact&gt; contactList = new ArrayList&lt;SimpleContact&gt;(); @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver(); acTextField = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autoComplete); Uri contacts = Uri.parse("content://icc/adn"); Cursor cursor = resolver.query(contacts, null, null, null, null); if (cursor.moveToFirst()) { String contactName; String phoneNumber; int nameColumn = cursor.getColumnIndex("name"); int phoneColumn = cursor.getColumnIndex("number"); do { contactName = cursor.getString(nameColumn); phoneNumber = cursor.getString(phoneColumn); if((contactName != " " || contactName != null) &amp;&amp; (phoneNumber!= " " ||phoneNumber!= null)) { SimpleContact sc = new SimpleContact(contactName, phoneNumber); contactList.add(sc); } } while (cursor.moveToNext()); } adapter = new ContactAdapter(this, R.layout.grid_item, contactList); acTextField.setAdapter(adapter); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu); return true; } } </code></pre> <p><strong>CustomAdapter.java</strong></p> <pre><code> package com.sncrmck.adapter; import java.util.ArrayList; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Context; import android.view.LayoutInflater; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import android.widget.TextView; import android.widget.Toast; import com.sncrmck.autocompletetest.R; import com.sncrmck.obj.SimpleContact.SimpleContact; public class ContactAdapter extends ArrayAdapter&lt;SimpleContact&gt; { private ArrayList&lt;SimpleContact&gt; entries; private Activity activity; public ContactAdapter(Activity a, int textViewResourceId, ArrayList&lt;SimpleContact&gt; entries){ super(a, textViewResourceId, entries); this.entries = entries; this.activity = a; Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Constructor", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } public static class ViewHolder{ public TextView item1; public TextView item2; } @Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Get View", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); View v = convertView; ViewHolder holder; if (v == null) { LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)activity.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); v = vi.inflate(R.layout.grid_item, null); holder = new ViewHolder(); holder.item1 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.big); holder.item2 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.small);; } else holder=(ViewHolder)v.getTag(); final SimpleContact contactInfo = entries.get(position); if (contactInfo != null) { holder.item1.setText(contactInfo.getContactName()); holder.item2.setText(contactInfo.getContactNumber()); } return v; } } </code></pre> <p><strong>This is the SimpleContact object I'm passing to the ContactAdapter</strong></p> <pre><code>package com.sncrmck.obj.SimpleContact; public class SimpleContact { private String contactName; private String contactNumber; public SimpleContact(String string, String string2) { this.contactName = string; this.contactNumber = string2; } public String getContactName() { return contactName; } public void set(String contactName) { this.contactName= contactName; } public String getContactNumber() { return contactNumber; } public void setcustomSmall(String contactNumber) { this.contactNumber = contactNumber; } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Lastly, this is my custom list item - grid_item.xml</strong></p> <pre><code> &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"&gt; &lt;TextView android:textSize="24dp" android:id="@+id/big" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/&gt; &lt;TextView android:textSize="24dip" android:id="@+id/small" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre>
