Hi guys, My question may sound noobish to some of you, but I'd just like to verify if runQueryOnBackgroundThread() processes requests the same as filter().
Based on the Javadoc for filter(): public final void filter (CharSequence constraint) Starts an asynchronous filtering operation. Calling this method cancels all previous non-executed filtering requests and posts a new filtering request that will be executed later. I am asking because I am trying to perform pseudo-filtering on a ListView. I say pseudo because instead of actually filtering the list, my client wants the list to just scroll to the specified row on the list. My current implementation uses runQueryOnBackgroundThread(), then I get the _id returned by the cursor and scroll to that position in the ListView. Now, my client complains that the filtering is slow on their test devices (they are testing on Android 1.5 phones), but I don't see any lag on my end (I use Samsung Galaxy S). That being said, I just want to make sure that my filtering does what filter() should do -- that is, cancel previous filtering requests and just perform the latest one. Any help would be appreciated, like always. Thanks! - Zarah. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
