I have an AutoCompleteTextView which as usual provides suggestions after a user types 3 letters. I want once once I touch the suggestion list to hide the soft keyboard. What I have done below with the table layout hides the keyboard only when clicking anywhere but the suggestion list.
XML
<TableRow
android:id="@+id/tableRow2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center" >
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:id="@+id/auto_insert_meds"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="15"
android:inputType="textVisiblePassword|textMultiLine"
android:scrollHorizontally="false"
android:text=""
android:textSize="16sp" />
</TableRow>
Java
TableLayout tbl = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.main_table);
tbl.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
InputMethodManager in = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
return true;
}
});
XML for custom list
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/medlist_linear_layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/med_name"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollHorizontally="false"
android:padding="3dp"
android:textColor="@android:color/white" />
</LinearLayout>
Use OnItemClickListener
. Hope this works :)
AutoCompleteTextView text = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.auto_insert_meds);
text.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
InputMethodManager in = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(arg1.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
});
UPDATED
Use this
in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(arg1.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);
instead of -
in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(arg1.getWindowToken(), 0);
