AutoCompleteTextView : AfterTextChange and OnItemClick working together

Question

I have added AutoCompleteTextView in my app. In which I have coded on both methods i.e. afterTextChange() if a person writes complete word and do not click on suggestion and OnItemClickListener() if a user clicks on sugesstion but the problem is that these both methods are working together. If I click on suggestions using onItemClick then afterTextChange( ) also works and my code runs two times. What to do to prevent both methods not run same time.

OnAfterTextChange() Code

 actvShop_name.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

                   actvShop_name.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            txtShop.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            //do nothing
            if ((actvShop_name.getText().length() != 0) && actvShop_name.getText().length() >= 3) {
                modelShopDetailsArrayList = databaseHelper.getShopDetail(actvShop_name.getText().toString(), language);

                Log.e("TAG", "onKeyDown:Add " + modelShopDetailsArrayList.size() + " " + actvShop_name.getText().toString() + language);

                if (modelShopDetailsArrayList.size() != 0) {

                    HashMap<String, String> shopDetails = session.getSelectedShopDetail();

                    Log.e("TAG", "onItemClick: " + shopDetails.get("shop_name_nl") + "  ");

                    if (shop_name != null) {

                        if (shop_name == actvShop_name.getText().toString()) {

                            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(
                                    Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(actvShop_name.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);

                            fillShopDetails(actvShop_name.getText().toString());

                        } else {


                            AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
                            alertDialog.setMessage(R.string.delete_cart);
                            alertDialog.setPositiveButton(R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

                                    DatabaseHelper databaseHelper = new DatabaseHelper(getActivity());
                                    databaseHelper.deleteCart();

                                    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(
                                            Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                                    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(actvShop_name.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);

                                    fillShopDetails(actvShop_name.getText().toString());


                                }
                            });
                            alertDialog.setNegativeButton(R.string.no
                                    , new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                                            dialog.cancel();
                                        }
                                    });
                            alertDialog.show();


                        }

                    } else {
                        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(
                                Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(actvShop_name.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);

                        fillShopDetails(actvShop_name.getText().toString());
                    }

OnItemClickListener() Code

 actvShop_name.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {


          //  actvShop_name.removeTextChangedListener(textWatcher);

            shop_name_entered = adapterView.getItemAtPosition(i).toString();

            actvShop_name.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            txtShop.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            txtShop.setText(shop_name_entered);


            HashMap<String, String> shopDetails = session.getSelectedShopDetail();

            Log.e("TAG", "onItemClick: " + shopDetails.get("shop_name_nl") + "  " + shop_name_entered);

            if (shop_name != null) {

                if (shop_name.equals(shop_name_entered)) {

                    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(
                            Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(actvShop_name.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);

                    fillShopDetails(shop_name_entered);

                } else {

                    AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
                    alertDialog.setMessage(R.string.delete_cart);
                    alertDialog.setPositiveButton(R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

                            DatabaseHelper databaseHelper = new DatabaseHelper(getActivity());
                            databaseHelper.deleteCart();

                            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(
                                    Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(actvShop_name.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);

                            fillShopDetails(shop_name_entered);


                        }
                    });
                    alertDialog.setNegativeButton(R.string.no
                            , new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                                    dialog.cancel();
                                }
                            });
                    alertDialog.show();
                }

            } else {
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(
                        Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(actvShop_name.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);

                fillShopDetails(shop_name_entered);
            }


        }
    });


    actvShop_name.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            actvShop_name.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            txtShop.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
    });
    txtShop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            actvShop_name.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            txtShop.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
    });

Dialog opened two times as both methods are running together.

I was stuck with the same problem, which you are facing now.

As we are using the addTextChangedListenerthan it will fire when any change will happen to your EditText either from the typing or setting the text programmatically (like selecting a value from the list and then set on Editext)

You can use the two approaches for it.

Disable the addTextChangedListener listener from the AutoCompleteTextView. For this click here
Play with view visibility (which I have used successfully). For this, you need to create a new view (you can create TextView) on your AutoCompleteTextView and set the visibility of the view to GONE by default than we will play the view visibility programmatically like inside the addTextChangedListener use below code

Code:

  @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        //do nothing
    YOUR_AUTO_COMPLTE_TEXTVIEW.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    YOUR_TEXTVIEW.setVisibility(View.GONE);

    }

And inside the setOnItemClickListener again we need to play view visibility as follow and set the set text on the new Textview check below:-

actvShop_name.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {

                YOUR_AUTO_COMPLTE_TEXTVIEW.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                YOUR_TEXTVIEW.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

            }
}

And apply click on the YOUR_AUTO_COMPLTE_TEXTVIEW and the YOUR_TEXTVIEW to set the view visibility like below

YOUR_AUTO_COMPLTE_TEXTVIEW.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                YOUR_AUTO_COMPLTE_TEXTVIEW.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                YOUR_TEXTVIEW.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            }
        });
        YOUR_TEXTVIEW.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                YOUR_AUTO_COMPLTE_TEXTVIEW.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                YOUR_TEXTVIEW.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            }
        });

I tried 1. approch but not working still same problem. – mishti Dec 27 '18 at 04:38
You can try second one , which i have used...Do you have any problem on it – Ravindra Kushwaha Dec 27 '18 at 04:39
I added but same problem now – mishti Dec 27 '18 at 05:32
How it can be...Have u created the 2 views like `AutoTextView` and `TextView` and set the `visibility` as i have mentioned in the answer..Because same thing i have tried for and it working now perfectly – Ravindra Kushwaha Dec 27 '18 at 05:34
Yes, Did the same. Do i need to share code with you. – mishti Dec 27 '18 at 05:40
You can edit your question .. i willl check from there – Ravindra Kushwaha Dec 27 '18 at 05:40
One more thing , which u need to add on my above solution.. I am editing my answer – Ravindra Kushwaha Dec 27 '18 at 05:41
@mishti I have edited the answer..Please check it once..Apply click listener on the AutoTexvie and Texview check above solution – Ravindra Kushwaha Dec 27 '18 at 05:46
@mishti You have applied the `onItemclik` and `addTextChangedListener` listeners on the same view..What is the use of the `addTextChangedListener` on the `AutoCompleteTextview` – Ravindra Kushwaha Dec 27 '18 at 05:59
Where I do not find. Please elaborate – mishti Dec 27 '18 at 06:02
What is the use of the `addTextChangedListener ` on the `AutoCompleteTextview` ?? – Ravindra Kushwaha Dec 27 '18 at 06:03
actvShop_name.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() { this one? – mishti Dec 27 '18 at 06:04
I need to check when typing fininsh in autotext. to add aftertextchange I used it? – mishti Dec 27 '18 at 06:05
Refer this link for it http://blog.hackerkernel.com/2015/12/30/autocompleteedittext-with-dynamic-data-from-json/ – Ravindra Kushwaha Dec 27 '18 at 06:07
I do not understand what you want to say – mishti Dec 27 '18 at 06:28
Click on the above link which i have mentioned on ealier comment – Ravindra Kushwaha Dec 27 '18 at 06:29
I checked but not understand – mishti Dec 27 '18 at 06:35
On this **link** [click here](http://blog.hackerkernel.com/2015/12/30/autocompleteedittext-with-dynamic-data-from-json/) , they have used the `ArrayAdapter` with **Filterable** interface..And from this you do not need any `addTextChangedListener` on your `AutoTextview` ,Try to undserand that code on the link..Your probelm will resolve easily.. – Ravindra Kushwaha Dec 27 '18 at 06:39
