[android-developers] AutoCompleteTextView and SimpleCursorAdapter

Hi All,

I'm using AutoCompleteTextView with SimpleCursorAdapter. It works
properly except one issue: I can't get regular list dropdown view.
When performing filtering the lines are narrow. I've tested API Demos
AutoCompelte1 example and got the "normal" dropdown view when using
ArrayAdapter<String>.
Is there any standard way to show "normal" dropdown view? Please
advise what is wrong or what I've missed there.

Thans a lot,
Evgeny

The source code is following:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

MyAdapter adapter = new MyAdapter(this,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, null,
new String[] {"name"},
new int[] {android.R.id.text1});
AutoCompleteTextView autoCompleteCountry =
(AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.txtCountry);
autoCompleteCountry.setAdapter(_adapter);
//
autoCompleteCountry.setDropDownHeight(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
//
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line);
adapter.setStringConversionColumn(1);
}

private class MyAdapter extends SimpleCursorAdapter
{
public MyAdapter(Context context, int layout, Cursor c, String[]
from,int[] to)
{
super(context, layout, c, from, to);
}

@Override
public Cursor runQueryOnBackgroundThread(CharSequence
constraint)
{
if(constraint == null || constraint.length() == 0)
return super.runQueryOnBackgroundThread(constraint);

return myB.rawQuery("select country._id _id, country.name_en name
from country where name_en like '" +
constraint.toString().replace("'", "''") + "%'", null);
}
}
}
