autocompletetextview setonitemselectedlistener not working

Question

there i am trying to write code for authorisation activity. When i am putting some entry in inputEmail i expect that my inputPasword will be fileed automaticly if corresponding record exists. However onItemSelectedListener seemd not to work. When i select item nothing happens. Log does not fiers to. I'd like to know if i made some mistake or i am going in wrong aproach.

AutoCompleteTextView inputEmail; inputEmail = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.loginEmail); inputEmail.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Set<String> keys = prefs.getAll().keySet(); emails.clear(); if (keys.size() != 0) { emails.addAll(keys); } else emails.add(""); inputEmail.setAdapter(adapter); email = inputEmail.getText().toString(); } }); inputEmail.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() { @Override public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub email = inputEmail.getText().toString(); password = prefs.getString(email, ""); Log.d(email + " "+password, "email+password"); if (password.length() > 1) { inputPassword.setText(password); } } @Override public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } });

this looks to be a bug on android. On checking the framework code, the callback registered is never used. Maybe you can file a bug report — nandeesh

This is a duplicate of this question

However, you need to use AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() not OnItemSelectedListener.

I tested it with success using the following code snippet. Credit to Vogella for the adapter stuff.

 AutoCompleteTextView actv = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autocomplete_textview); String[] values = new String[] { "Android", "iPhone", "WindowsMobile", "Blackberry", "WebOS", "Ubuntu", "Windows7", "Max OS X", "Linux", "OS/2", "Ubuntu", "Windows7", "Max OS X", "Linux", "OS/2", "Ubuntu", "Windows7", "Max OS X", "Linux", "OS/2", "Android", "iPhone", "WindowsMobile" }; ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(); for (int i = 0; i < values.length; ++i) { list.add(values[i]); } final ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, list); actv.setAdapter(adapter); actv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() { @Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) { Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, adapter.getItem(position).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } });

its giving position of list shown, so position did not match with original data. The real solution here: spapas.github.io/2019/04/05/android-custom-filter-adapter. You need to expose the FilterResult values.

autoCompleteTextView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() { @Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) { String selectedItem=autoCompleteTextView.getAdapter().getItem(position).toString(); Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),selectedItem , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } });

Just get the adapter of AutoCompleteTextView and use the position.

Use setOnItemClickListener and don't use setOnItemSelectedListener. Also use your custom adapter object to fetch the selected values.

 prodNameAutoCompTxt.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() { @Override public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) { //Don't use this method } @Override public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView) { System.out.println("Nothing selected"); } }); prodNameAutoCompTxt.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() { @Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) { //Use this method Product prodObj=(Product) prodAutoAdapter.getItem(i); new UomSynch().execute(prodObj.getProdID()); } });
