I have an AutoCompleteTextView that really, really appears to be working. I type and the list pops down as text begins to match what I type, eventually the user can select what he wants and the appropriate value gets passed to the next activity. My adapter is an extended CursorAdapter, not an ArrayAdapter.
My runQueryOnBackgroundThread(CharSequence constraint) takes the constraint and passes it to my own function which does a SQL search for the constraint.toString() and returns a Cursor with the resultset. If the user types in "dog" every row in the table with "dog" a certain column shows up in the dropdown box. This is exactly what I intend. The issue is that I cannot get a query from FilterQueryProvider(). In fact, calls to getFilterQueryProvider() return null in all cases that I have seen. However, the SDK entry on runQueryOnBackgroundThread states, "The query is provided by a FilterQueryProvider. If no provider is specified, the current cursor is not filtered and returned." The sample code I have seen appear to implement this too. Since my various calls to getFilterQueryProvider() return null I can only assume no provider is specified and return an ununfilterd cursor (7000+ rows), but my constraint plainly has good data in that should not be ignored. And getFilterQueryProvider() returns null in all cases I have tried. getFilter does return a Filter I do extend CursorAdapter and implement Filterable in my class Since I am new I suspect I'm missing something and my emulator will combust any minute. Am I missing something or is this a documentation error? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
