Problem with AutoCompleteEditText ??

Hi Could some spot the problem here.

The AutoCompleteEditText works perfectly well as it should with the lines of the original example posted elsewhere in this forum. But doesnot show the drop down list in the code attached. The original working code is commented out.

The file being loaded with some names is also attached and would have to be copied to probably /mnt/sdcard/

Please do not post duplicate questions (especially with large attachments).

You should use File - Export as zip when uploading files.

Oops

Sorry about that Erel. I didnot know which place maybe a better place to ask for help. Also, I was unaware of the Zip option. Will be more careful next time.

Some Code Works , Some DoesNot

I cant figure this out but AutoCompleteEditText works in a For-Next Loop and Not in a Do-While Loop. I have used Logging of the output to see that the variable ''line'' does indeed get populated in both cases, but in the case of the Do-While Loop the AutoCompleteEditText doesnot work.

Code given below:-
Dim TextReader1 As TextReader
Dim line As String
Dim Items As List

''****************** ThisCodeWorks*****************
Items.Initialize
TextReader1.Initialize(File.OpenInput(File.DirRootExternal, "List.txt"))

For i = 0 To 138
line = TextReader1.ReadLine
Items.Add(line)
Next

TextReader1.Close
AutoCompleteEditText1.SetItems(Items)

''**********End of Working Code******************



''**************This Code Does Not Work***********
Items.Initialize
TextReader1.Initialize(File.OpenInput(File.DirRootExternal, "List.txt"))

line = TextReader1.ReadLine
Items.Add(line)
Do While line <> Null
line = TextReader1.ReadLine
Items.Add(line)
Loop

TextReader1.Close
AutoCompleteEditText1.SetItems(Items)
''*********End of Non Working Code*******************

No problem. Currently attachments are stored inside the forum database. This makes the attachments a performance problem.

Anyway there is a mistake in your code:
You are adding a Null value to the items on the last iteration. You should change it to:

Or even better:

Thanks Erel, I did notice the log showing the Null value at the end, but didnot realise that that was causing the problem. Thanks again. !!
