my AutoCompleteTextView is created with a custom adapter to show suggestions for ~3000 Strings. while typing in the input view, suggestions are coming up as expected, except that sometimes a chunk of the dropdown view with suggestions is being clipped or looks like its detached from the AutoCompleteTextView. this extra chunk of the dropdown apears to be holding previous suggestions that are no longer relevent. upon clicking a suggestion or typing more letters - the "stuck" dropdown piece disapears.
edit: i find that once the AutoCompleteTextView is only showing one suggestion after showing more than one, the problem occurs
Why is this happening? How can i fix it?
Right now i am trying a few things(none of which are working):
-adding a TextWatcher on the AutoCompleteTextView and invalidating the AutoCompleteTextView in the onTextChanged method.
-getWindow().getDecorView().invalidate(); on the Activity containing this AutoCompleteTextView in the onTextChanged method
edit: this is only happening on the samsung galaxy s phone running 2.1 sdk version 7
