JarCastingEmailAutoCompleteTextView
EmailAutoCompleteTextView inherits from AutoCompleteTextView and uses the unique emails associated with the device to provide auto-complete functionality for email input fields. It also provides an "x" button on the right hand side as an easy way to clear text.
NOTE: since this view uses AccountManager to get the emails on the device, you must include the following in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"/>
Please view the sample application under example/ for more details.
Including EmailAutoCompleteTextView using Gradle:
Add the following to your build.gradle:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.greenhalolabs:emailautocompletetextview:1.3.1'
}
Usage:
In XML:
<com.greenhalolabs.emailautocompletetextview.EmailAutoCompleteTextView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:dropDownSelector="@drawable/some_drawable"
android:hint="@string/enter_an_email"
android:imeActionLabel="@string/sign_up"
app:clearButtonDrawable="@drawable/close" />
Programmatically:
EmailAutoCompleteTextView emailAutoCompleteTextView = new EmailAutoCompleteTextView(context);
emailAutoCompleteTextView.setHint(R.string.enter_an_email);
emailAutoCompleteTextView.setClearButtonEnabled(true); // defaults to true
emailAutoCompleteTextView.setClearButtonResId(R.drawable.close);
Styling:
Since EmailAutoCompleteTextView inherits from AutoCompleteTextView, styling is similar to styling an AutoCompleteTextView. The drop down item layout used is android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, to provide a custom styling for this, add the following to your application theme:
<item name="android:dropDownItemStyle">@style/CustomStyle</item>
