    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to replace MultiAutoCompleteTextView Drop down list with a ListView, which it should have same functionality as drop down list, that means, when I click in one of items it should be added to MultiAutoCompleteTextView box, o so on, but filtering the ListView as you type.</p> <p>So I came up with this raw code without success:</p> <p>filterable_listview.xml</p> <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"&gt; &lt;MultiAutoCompleteTextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:hint="@string/To" android:id="@+id/search_box"&gt;&lt;/MultiAutoCompleteTextView&gt; &lt;ListView android:id="@android:id/list" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>AutoCompleteActivity.java</p> <pre><code>protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.filterable_listview); manager = new ContactManager(); adapter = new ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt;(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, manager.getContacts()); searchEdit = (MultiAutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.search_box); searchEdit.addTextChangedListener(filterTextWatcher); searchEdit.setTokenizer(new SpaceTokenizer()); setListAdapter(adapter); getListView().setOnItemClickListener( new ListView.OnItemClickListener() { public void onItemClick(AdapterView&lt;?&gt; parent, View view, int position, long id) { //Here is one issues searchEdit.append(adapter.getItem(position)); } }); } private TextWatcher filterTextWatcher = new TextWatcher() { public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) { } public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,int after) { } public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) { adapter.getFilter().filter(s); } }; </code></pre> <p>I have to main problems:</p> <p>1) When I click an item, the whole selected text is appended, I know the problem relies on:</p> <p>searchEdit.append(adapter.getItem(position)); </p> <p>but, How can I do spanning text like regular autocomplete does ?</p> <p>2) Once one item was selected, next input don't show the suggestion any more (despite of SpaceTonekizer)</p> <p>I hope my explanation was clear.</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p>
