I have a MultiAutoCompleteTextView where data is taken from Firestore. When i set the data in ArrayAdapter, i get an error like below. I followed the following method https://stackoverflow.com/a/2965808/2123594 , but I'm still confused where i should put Arrays.asList to my code.
Error :

MultiAutoCompleteTextView Code :
String[] arrayUoM = new String[]{null};
ArrayAdapter<String> adapterUoM = new ArrayAdapter<>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, arrayUoM);
// Check if document is available
collectionUoM.get().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<QuerySnapshot>() {
@Override
public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<QuerySnapshot> task) {
if (task.isSuccessful()) {
for (DocumentSnapshot documentSnapshot : task.getResult()) {
if (task.getResult().isEmpty()) {
Log.e("TAG", "UoM not available");
} else {
String getName = documentSnapshot.getString("uoMName");
adapterUoM.add(getName);
}
}
}
}
}).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
@Override
public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(AddItems.this, "Error : " + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
MultiCompleteUoM.setAdapter(adapterUoM);
MultiCompleteUoM.setTokenizer(new MultiAutoCompleteTextView.CommaTokenizer());
Actually there are multiple problems in your code.
Problem - 1: You have initialized your ArrayAdapter
with array of null
, which cause NullPointerExceptio
.
Problem - 2: You have used array of String String[]
to create ArrayAdapter
. The ArrayAdapter
, on being initialized by an array, converts the array into a AbstractList
(List) which cannot be modified. Hence it cause UnsupportedOperationException
, when you try to add
item to ArrayAdapter
.
Solution: To resolve both of the problem, You have to use ArrayList
instead of array.
ArrayList<String> arrayUoM = new ArrayList<>();
