AutoCompleteTextView - disable filtering


I'm retrieving a list of strings from a webservice and I want to list them up on a AutoCompleteTextField regardless of the built-in AutoCompleteTextField filters.

How do I do that? is there a way to disable it's inner filtering easily (preferably without subclassing) I've loaded all my results into a ArrayAdapter, the problem is that some of them don't show up because of the filtering.

If I'm going in the wrong direction please point me to the right direction.


Solution

  • Eventually I subclassed ArrayAdapter, Disabled the filters by Overriding it's getFilter method, and Made my HTTPRequest during the "text changed" events.
