I have an AutoCompleteTextView in my app which works. I have successfully created an onClickItemListener . The question is how to grab the text the user selected. And this is the thing: I have an ArrayList with words being passed to the Adapter to search for suggestions. As the user types a word the suggestions list gets shorter (in rows on the UI side) so when i want to get the word from the ArrayList at the index the user selected i get the wrong word because the indexes doesn't match. How can I get the text ( String ) the user chose without having to mess with the index? Here's my code: public class AutocompleteActivity extends BaseActivity { private DBManager m_db; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.autocomplete); m_db = new DBManager(this); final ArrayList<String> words = m_db.selectAllWords(); ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.listitem, words); AutoCompleteTextView tv = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.autocomplete); tv.setThreshold(1); tv.setAdapter(adapter); tv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) { Log.i("SELECTED TEXT WAS------->", words.get(arg2)); } }); } }
