Android Question autocompletetext and search results

[tufanv]

Hello,

For autocomplete text to find what you want , you have to start typing the exact phrase for eaxmple if you are searching kalem-kitap , you have to start with the begining , if you start with kitap it wont find anything. There is also searchview which can find results better but visually it is not like the autocompletetext. Do you have any suggestion when combining this 2 needs ?

Thanks

You cannot change AutoCompleteEditText behavior.

You can change SearchView appearance. It is a simple EditText with ListView.

I tried to change searchview appearance some time ago but haf some problems. When there is no input into textfield it always showed a list , and when i tried to change the code to hide the list when there is nothing, its border always was visible and i couldnt hide it, simply, i couldnt make it look like the autocompletetext. I will work on it again and put my code here if i cant do it. Thanks

The border probably comes from the custom view itself. Make sure that no border is set in the layout file.
