I tried setting the adapter to null, and it actually works. The code looks like this:
searchInput.setAdapter((ArrayAdapter<String>) null); searchInput.setText(text); searchInput.setAdapter(adapter); I also use this technique to disable the autocomplete that kicks in when changing orientation....however this works almost everytime...it still shows the drop down once in a while. I´m happy the solution sorta works for now, but it dosn't feel like an optimal solution. It would be nice if the AutoCompleteTextView would be able to support it a bit better. Maybe an extra argument to setText? But anyways, thank you for your help Mark!
