Android how to select id of autocompletetextview inside onitemclick overridden function

Question

I have three autoCompleteTextView box as home , work , other .

So in home autocomplete box i get a data from server and select one item and that item i stored to home_latlong string. Similarly i have to get value from other autocomplete work which i am storing that value in another string called home_latlong. Below code shows onItemClick overridden function where i will store home_latlong or work_latlong. `

ontemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view,
        int position, long id) {
        System.out.println("POSITION ="+position);
        for (int i = 0; i < latlong.size(); i++) {
            if(i==position){
                home_latlong=latlong.get(i);
                System.out.println("ARRAY"+latlong.get(i));
            }
        }
}`

So problem is i am not able differenciate when i will store home_latlong and when to store work_latlong. I tried with id of autocompletetextview but it did not help in this function.

I solved it by using anonymous inner class ,

actv1 = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1);
actv1 .setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View v, int position,
                long id) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            for (int i = 0; i < latlong.size(); i++) {
                if (i == position) {
                    home_latlong = latlong.get(i);
                    System.out.println("ARRAY" + latlong.get(i));
                }

            }
        }

    });

Similarly for work_latlong i had another anonymous inner class so i can get which autocompleteview i have clicked.

Check the documentation for AdapterView.OnItemClickListener:

public abstract void onItemClick (AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id)

Parameters

• parent: The AdapterView where the click happened.
• view: The view within the AdapterView that was clicked (this will be a view provided by the adapter)

You need to use the first parameter (the AdapterView) to identify the AutocompleteTextView.
