I have an array (array1 with States
) and AutoCompleteTextview
in which I'm filling it with array1. When I select the value from AutocompleteTextView
I select a state
from AutoCompleteTextView Dropdown
What I want is to get the position of the item from array1 which I've selected.
What I've tried is OnClickEvent
of AutocompelteTextView
.
STATE.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(){
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long rowId) {
String selection = (String) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
String num = selection;
}
});
It ss giving me the value which I selected from dropdown but i want to get the position of the value
in array1. For Example I have an array of size 4, like array1 = {A,B,C,D}, and if I select B it should return me B position in Array i.e 2.
I hope I made it clear. Thanks in advance.
Use the position variable in the onItemClick
.
STATE.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(){
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long rowId) {
String selection = (String) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
int pos = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < yourarray.length; i++) {
if (yourarray[i].equals(selection)) {
pos = i;
break;
}
}
System.out.println("Position " + pos); //check it now in Logcat
}
});
