Hello people,
there is a protected method replaceText for autocompletetextview in Android.
I have no idea how to use it and need some examples.
Is it possible at all to use this method?!

A:
I think it is only used internally.
The setText method will replace the text in the box so I can't see why you'd need it anyway.

I just had problems with setText and onTextChangedListener. Everytime I called setText, it fired listener as well.

You might be able to dynamically adjust the contents of your autocomplete list somehow but setting a flag so that the listener knows it's not needed is probably easier.

Hmmmm ... can you give an example how to set a flag for listener or in activity?

Start by creating a Boolean member variable for example mSettingText

Give it a default value of false. In your onTextChangedListener function include something like: if(mSettingText) {mSettingText=false;return;}Then, just before you call setText each time, set mSettingText to true. onTextChanged will still get called but won't actually do anything.
