EmailAutoCompleteTextView

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>
