I have an array of String elements:
suggestion_name = new String[main_data.getJSONArray("cafe").length()];
which is populated by some JSON data:
for (int i=0; i<suggestion_name.length;i++){
suggestion_name[i] = main_data.getJSONArray("cafe").getJSONObject(i).getString("name");
}
When I debug, I see that suggestion_name array has 2 elements in it, everythings fine here. Then I create my suggestions adapter as follows:
public void set_suggestion_adapter_array(){
String[] from = new String[] {"cafe_name"};
int[] to = new int[] {R.id.suggestionTextView};
cursorAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(a,
R.layout.suggestions_single_item,
null,
from,
to,
CursorAdapter.FLAG_REGISTER_CONTENT_OBSERVER);
}
and populate the suggestions list like this:
public void populate(String text){
MatrixCursor matrixCursor = new MatrixCursor(new String[]{ BaseColumns._ID, "cafe_name" });
for (int i=0; i<suggestion_name.length; i++) {
if (suggestion_name[i].toLowerCase().startsWith(text.toLowerCase()))
matrixCursor.addRow(new Object[] {i, suggestion_name[i]});
}
cursorAdapter.changeCursor(matrixCursor);
cursorAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
I'm calling the populate() method in onQueryTextChange:
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
// search database for query
getDataMap.search(query);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
// show suggestions
getDataMap.populate(newText);
return true;
}
});
Yet when I start typing the elements of my suggestion array to the search field, I'm not getting any suggestions. I debugged several times to see if any of my code is not being called in time/at all, yet everything works perfectly in order. My array elements do not contain any odd letters, symbols etc. What am I missing here? Thanks.
