Android: How to make an AutoCompleteTextView SingleLine?
Solution 1
Set android:imeOptions="actionNext"
in AutoCompleteTextView in xml .
Solution 2
Setting android:inputType="text"
on the AutoCompleteTextView
element in the layout XML worked for me; limits input to one line and the Next
soft key is present. Pressing the Next
soft key didn't actually advance input to the next AutoCompleteTextView
in my Activity until I also added android:imeOptions="actionNext"
.
I couldn't find anything in the reference site to support this, but Content Assist in Eclipse seems to indicate android:singleLine
is deprecated (at least in this context):
Constrains the text to a single horizontally scrolling line instead of letting it wrap onto multiple lines, and advances focus instead of inserting a newline when you press the enter key. * Deprecated: This attribute is deprecated. Use "maxLines" instead to change the layout of a static text, and use the "textMultiLine" flag in the inputType attribute instead for editable text views (if both singleLine and inputType are supplied, the inputType flags will override the value of singleLine). [boolean]"
Solution 3
Just add this two below lines. It will be fine.
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:inputType="text"
or,
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="text"
Solution 4
I had same issue with My AutoCompleteTextView. It was working fine before android:singleLine="true" deprecated. But once i set android:maxLines="1",it is not worked until i put android:inputType="text"
AutoCompleteTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxLines="1"
android:inputType="text"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
/>
by placing android:inputType="text" on the AutoCompleteTextView it worked for me.
may help you guys :)

Archie.bpgc almost 2 years
<AutoCompleteTextView android:id="@+id/product" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="product" android:singleLine="true" android:textColor="@color/white" android:textSize="15dp" />
this is my code for AutoCompleteTextView.
The problem is I want to type in some text and then click
Next
on the soft-keyboard.Next
is not appearing on the soft-keyboard but its not taking cursor to the nextEditText
. In the same screen rest all EditText have the same code and they work fine. Is AutoCompleteTextView any different from normalEditText
in such case?? -
Archie.bpgc over 11 yearsfine it works. But what is wrong with android:singleLine="true". which worked fine for EditText?

as @EvanB mentioned -
ban-geoengineering almost 7 yearsUsing
android:inputType="text"
andandroid:imeOptions="actionNext"
works for me, but when I click the Next button, I'm not taken to the next view. Is there anything I need to add to the next view?
