AutoCompleteTextView

замечания

Простой, жестко закодированный AutoCompleteTextView

Дизайн (макет XML):

<AutoCompleteTextView
   android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextView1"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
   android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
   android:layout_marginTop="65dp"
   android:ems="10" />

Найти представление в коде после setContentView() (или его фрагмент или пользовательский эквивалент представления):

final AutoCompleteTextView myAutoCompleteTextView = 
    (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1);

Предоставлять жестко кодированные данные через адаптер:

String[] countries = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.list_of_countries);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,countries);
myAutoCompleteTextView.setAdapter(adapter);

Совет. Хотя предпочтительным способом было бы предоставлять данные через Loader какого-то типа вместо жестко закодированного списка, подобного этому.

Автозаполнение с помощью CustomAdapter, ClickListener и фильтра

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    <AutoCompleteTextView
        android:id="@+id/auto_name"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:completionThreshold="2"
        android:hint="@string/hint_enter_name" />

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    AutoCompleteTextView txtSearch;
    List<People> mList;
    PeopleAdapter adapter;
    private People selectedPerson;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

Модельный класс: People.java

public class People {

    private String name, lastName;
    private int id;

    public People(String name, String lastName, int id) {
        this.name = name;
        this.lastName = lastName;
        this.id = id;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getlastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setlastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }
}

Класс адаптера: PeopleAdapter.java

public class PeopleAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<People> {

        this.textViewResourceId = textViewResourceId;
        this.items = items;
        tempItems = new ArrayList<People>(items); // this makes the difference.
        suggestions = new ArrayList<People>();
    }

        }
        People people = items.get(position);
        if (people != null) {
            TextView lblName = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.lbl_name);
            if (lblName != null)
                lblName.setText(people.getName());
        }
        return view;
    }

    @Override
    public Filter getFilter() {
        return nameFilter;
    }

    /**
     * Custom Filter implementation for custom suggestions we provide.

            return str;
        }

        @Override
        protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {

                return filterResults;
            } else {
                return new FilterResults();
            }
        }

        @Override
        protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint, FilterResults results) {
            List<People> filterList = (ArrayList<People>) results.values;
