I am using the TokenAutoComplete library for adding Gmail style chips to my textfield. Everything is working fine. The only problem is that i want to add items to my ChipTextView
when the UI is loaded but i cannot find any way to do that. All the items that i add to adapter are displayed as suggestion instead.
My ChipTextView class:
public class ChipTextView extends TokenCompleteTextView {
public ChipTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public ChipTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public ChipTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
@Override
protected Object defaultObject(String text) {
return text;
}
@Override
protected View getViewForObject(Object text) {
String hashtag = (String) text;
LayoutInflater l = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
LinearLayout view = (LinearLayout) l.inflate(R.layout.chiptextview_item,
(ViewGroup) ChipTextView.this.getParent(), false);
((TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tv_text)).setText(hashtag);
return view;
}
}
My fragment From where i am setting up ChipTextView :
ArrayList<String> list=new ArrayList<>();
list.add("hello");
list.add("hi");
list.add("how");
ChipTextView tv_chipview=(ChipTextView ) parentView.findViewById(R.id.tv_chipview);
ArrayAdapter<String> mAdapter;
mAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,list);
tv_chipview.setAdapter(mAdapter);
tv_chipview.allowDuplicates(false);
tv_chipview.setDeletionStyle(TokenDeleteStyle.Clear);
This is how it is shown when i add items to adapter using code
How i want the output to be displayed after setting up. This is how it is displayed when i use my keyboard:
How can i add items to ChipTextView
from code so that it seems like i had added them by using keyboard ?
I found the solution to my problem on TokenAutoComplete github documentation. I don't know how i missed this before but i have finally found it. :)
For anyone who has faced the same problem i suggest you use addObject()
method for adding items into ChipTextView
.
