If you just want the selected item then use
SuggestBox box = new SuggestBox(countryOracle);
box.addSelectionHandler(new SelectionHandler<Suggestion>() {
@Override
public void onSelection(SelectionEvent<Suggestion> event) {
System.out.println(event.getSelectedItem());
}
});
Or
SuggestBox box = new SuggestBox(countryOracle);
box.addValueChangeHandler(new ValueChangeHandler<String>() {
@Override
public void onValueChanged(ValueChangeEvent<String> event) {
System.out.println(event.getValue());
}
});
The first example gives you the object (country) that the user has
selected in the suggestion popup and the second one gives you the
string from the SuggestionBox's TextBox whenever it changes.
If you really want to override "protected abstract
SuggestOracle.Suggestion getCurrentSelection()" from the
SuggestionDisplay then you have to use
SuggestBox box = new SuggestBox(countryOracle, new TextBox(), new
YourCustomSuggestionDisplay());
where YourCustomSuggestionDisplay is
public class YourCustomSuggestionDisplay extends
DefaultSuggestionDisplay
or
public class YourCustomSuggestionDisplay extends
SuggestBox.SuggestionDisplay
Hope that helps.
