Hi All! I have an AutoCompleteTextView which the user can enter a name of an airport. the suggestion strings looks like this (for example):
John F. Kennedy (JFK)
New York, United States
I'm using an ArrayAdapter (following the examples in Android documentation) and when I construct it, I provide a List which have items of the sort of: " ()/n, "
the list size is 4,244. my problem is that I'm getting a very poor performance from the view. I'm talking 5-7 seconds after the user entering a letter (I set threshold to '1').
also my problem is that I want the search to be a regular expression - i.e., not having the user write the initial letter of the airport name but any characters sequence that exist in the string. does the view support that?
