Auto Complete解析

  本文是笔者翻译了android帮助文档里面的HelloView并且进行了一些分析理解完成的，也是在学习的过程中，把遇到的一些不容易理解的东西，研究明白了，给记下来，个人认为的难点重点吧。废话不说了，进正题，第一篇顺手找的（一天一天的写的，就按照首字母来发吧），是关于Auto Complete的一篇，顾名思义，就是可以自动完成我们输入了一半的词组或者单词。

 

使用AutoCompleteTextView创建一个文本输入小部件，提供按照建议自动完成的功能。建议内容来自一组与ArrayAdapter相关的字符串。（帮助文档上面的套话）

 

1、首先创建一个名为HelloAuto的项目。

2、在res/drawable（res/layout）目录下创建一个名为list_item.xml的xml文件。内容如下

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:textColor="#000"
    android:textSize="16sp" >
</TextView>

刚开始，笔者对这个xml的建立有点迷糊，分不清这个是干嘛用的，其实它就是用来填充那个在我们输入了一半词组的字母时，出现的那个里面含有供我们选择的内容的对话框的。下图红框中的部分

再值得一说的是帮助文档的实例中，说的是放到res/drawable中，但是貌似根本就无法当layou文件用，这里我放到了layout，就没问题了。

3、在res/layout/activity_main.xml中插入如下内容

<?xml version="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

    android:orientation="horizontal"

    android:padding="5dp" >

    <TextView

       android:layout_width="wrap_content"

       android:layout_height="wrap_content"

       android:text="Country"/>

    <AutoCompleteTextView

       android:id="@+id/autocomplete_country"

       android:layout_width="fill_parent"

       android:textColor="#0A0A0A"

       android:layout_height="wrap_content"

       android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"/>

</LinearLayout>

4、在HelloAuto中的onCreat()中插入如下代码

         publicvoid onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

       setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

       AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView)             findViewById(R.id.autocomplete_country);

       ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = newArrayAdapter<String>(this,

              R.layout.list_item, COUNTRIES);

       textView.setAdapter(adapter);

    }

使用findViewById找到我们在xml文件中定义的autocomplete

然后为这个autocomplete添加适配器（adapter）

ArrayAdapter的构造函数有三个参数第一个是Context 第二个是一个int值，它索引的是自动完成的下拉列表里面的每个项目（textview）的xml文件，第三个参数是这个下拉列表里面的值所构成的数组。

5、为COUNTRIES数组赋值。

staticfinal String[] COUNTRIES = new String[] { "Afghanistan", "Albania",

           "Algeria", "AmericanSamoa", "Andorra", "Angola", "Anguilla",

           "Antarctica", "Antigua andBarbuda", "Argentina", "Armenia",
