I am trying to filter a gridview and for that I am entering the data in an editbox. It works great except that when I insert a space character in editbox it somehow doesn't recognize it and the result set comes empty. Please help
Here is my editbox listener:
search.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher(){
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1,
int arg2, int arg3) {}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int start, int before, int count) {
MainActivity.this.adapter.getFilter().filter(cs);
}
});
I can't figure out the problem since it's working fine with other characters.
Try using trim()
. Hope it will work for you.I know you will need to modify this code.but it may give you some idea.
search.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher(){
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
MainActivity.this.adapter.getFilter().filter(search.getText().toString().trim());
}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1,
int arg2, int arg3) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int start, int before,
int count) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
If this doesnt work try second option
search.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher(){
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
String result = s.toString().replaceAll(" ", "");
if (!s.toString().equals(result)) {
ed.setText(result);
ed.setSelection(result.length());
// alert the user
}
}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1,
int arg2, int arg3) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int start, int before,
int count) {
}
});
I prefer first option using trim()
to string text.
Move Your filter code to afterTextChanged()
method.
For example:
search.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher(){
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
MainActivity.this.adapter.getFilter().filter(search.getText().toString());
}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1,
int arg2, int arg3) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int start, int before,
int count) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
I was able to solve this problem with the following code:
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
String keywords = editable.toString();
if (keywords.length() > 0){
String ultimo = keywords.substring(keywords.length() - 1);
if (ultimo.equals(" ")){
youtubeSearchView.setText(editable.toString() + "\b");
youtubeSearchView.setSelection(keywords.length());
}
}
