Selecting Contact from Autocomplete Textview

selecting contact from autocomplete textview

Add a onItemClickListener for the AutoCompleteTextView instead of having it as a seperate function.

 mTxtPhoneNo.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> av, View arg1, int index,
                long arg3) {
            Map<String, String> map = (Map<String, String>) av.getItemAtPosition(index);

            String name  = map.get("Name");
            String number = map.get("Phone");
            mTxtPhoneNo.setText(""+name+"<"+number+">");

        }

    });

or implement OnItemClickListener for your activity and set

mTxtPhoneNo.setOnItemClickListener(this);

AutoComplete TextView with Contacts

Try the following:

ArrayList<String> emailAddressCollection = new ArrayList<String>();

ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();

Cursor emailCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);

while (emailCur.moveToNext())
{
    String email = emailCur.getString(emailCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));
            emailAddressCollection.add(email);
}
emailCur.close();

String[] emailAddresses = new String[emailAddressCollection.size()];
emailAddressCollection.toArray(emailAddresses);

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
             android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, emailAddresses);
AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.YOUR_TEXT_VIEW);
     textView.setAdapter(adapter);
 }

Note: Don't forget to add the READ_CONTACTS permission to your Manifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />

get the selected contact phone numbers from multi autocomplete textview

I solved the multi-autocomplete OnItemclickListener issue by changing the code as below

@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

TextView temp = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.ccontNo);
TextView temp2 = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.ccontName);
final String selectedNumber = temp.getText().toString();
final String selectedName = temp2.getText().toString();

if (selectedNumber != null) {

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(
        INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);

   // Show Alert        
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), " Name:"+selectedName+" Number:"+selectedNumber, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}
}

Now i am getting the selected contact name and number. Then store those values in HashMap and while button click split the selected contacts by "," and iterate the loop for each name to get the contact number.

In this way i solved my problem hope it is helpful !! if so up Vote the answer!!!

AutoCompleteTextView - Show suggestions after selection

write below code in your AutoCompleteTextView.setOnItemClickListener()

autoComplete.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            autoComplete.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    autoComplete.showDropDown();
                }
            },100);
            autoComplete.setText(autoComplete.getText().toString());
            autoComplete.setSelection(autoComplete.getText().length());

        }
    });
