hello,
i am working on an app that's defined with orientation="landscape".
the main activity has a dialog that contains a text field defined
like this:
<AutoCompleteTextView android:id="@+id/name_text"
android:completionThreshold="2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5px"
android:inputType="textPersonName|textCapWords"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
/>
i have two problems:
1. when i use the soft keyboard to enter text into that field,
the screen morphs to soft keyboard mode, where all i
can see is a text area for entry and the keyboard.
this puzzles me a little because the field is defined as
single line. it looks like too much space (a text area perhaps
two lines tall) is allocated for it. this is really minor / i can
live with this.
2. i see that autocomplete is integrated into the text entry/soft
keyboard.
that's very nice. i enter a couple of characters, pick the first
suggestion,
and touch "Done"
the problem i have is that once the keyboard entry mode ends and the
dialog view re-appears, the autocomplete drop down is still showing,
even though it has only one matching entry that matches precisely
the
text that i've already entered and autocompleted (in keyboard mode).
the other issue i see, which is more severe, is that if i try to
dismiss the dropdown by touching the [already-entered] matching
entry (in the dropdown), then a side effect occurs: a thin grey bar
appears (slides up)
at the bottom of the screen; it looks like some sort of empty
activity
menu. i have to dismiss it by pressing the back button.
ideally the behavior i seek is that when i'm done editing in soft
keyboard mode, the autocomplete dropdown should no longer be
displaying. is there a way to programmatically dismiss it
when the entry mode ends? or is there some magic option like
android:imeoptions="autocompleteproperly" ? :-)
thanks,
/ eitan
