I am using a Custom Adapter with AutoCompleteTextView. It works fine on the emulator and my tablet. However, there is an issue on my phone in landscape mode. The auto complete hints being shown in this mode are object info rather than text. However, when I select any item the fields gets populated correctly with text in the respective fields.
Auto Complete for other fields that are based on Android Stock Array Adapter works fine.
Do I have to do something for this in my Custom Adapter? I saw only one similar question on SO. One response for that question was talking about overriding the toString method but I couldn't understand it enough to implement in my code.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated? Please let me know if you need more information.
EDIT: Added my custom adapter source code....
