Disable Android AutoCompleteTextView after user selects item from drop down

You can use the dismissDropDown() method of the AutoCompleteTextView object. Take a look at the documentation.

When we click on item suggested in AutoCompleteTextView.onTextChanged() is performed before onItemClick So, to avoid this try below code..

autocompletetextview.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {    @Override    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {    }    @Override    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {        if (autocompletetextview.isPerformingCompletion()) {            // An item has been selected from the list. Ignore.        } else {            // Perform your task here... Like calling web service, Reading data from SQLite database, etc...        }    }    @Override    public void afterTextChanged(final Editable editable) {    }});

If you wish to dissmis AutoCompleteTextView's dropdown you should use its post(Runnable r) method. It works for me :)

Here is an example:

mAutoCompleteTextView.post(new Runnable() {    public void run() {        mAutoCompleteTextView.dismissDropDown();    }}
