Text not being reset after item selection

[kaushal2406]

On Galaxy S6 with Android 7.1 there is a weird bug: with latest repository with samsung keyboard. with other keyboard like swift it working perfect.

1. open the sample project.
2. Remove Line completionView.setPrefix("To: ", Color.parseColor("blue")); in sample Project TokenActivity.java and then run Sample Application.
3. change defaultObject method in ContactsCompletionView.java
   @OverRide
   protected Person defaultObject(String completionText) {
   return new Person(completionText, completionText.replace(" ", ""));
   }
4. change variable initialization of people in TokenActivity.java
   people = new Person[]{
   new Person("kaushal Prajapati", "kaushalap"),
   new Person("dhrumil shah", "dhrumilas"),
   new Person("narendra zala", "narendrabz"),
   new Person("kirti c", "kirtirc")
   };
5. start typing "nare" .
6. choose the last item ("narendra zala") .
7. you see just the new item being added, no text next to it (which is what it should be).
8. continue typing - write "d"

Expected result: seeing the new item, and only the new text next to it.
Actual result: seeing the new item, and the text "nared" next to it.

Which keyboard are you using here? These kinds of issues tend to be keyboard specific.

I'm having the same issue with the stock google keyboard on a Nexus 5X I don't think it is just keyboard specific.

[mgod]

It's absolutely keyboard specific, but this appears to be a common keyboard pattern I'm not accounting for correctly. Please keep including notes on which keyboard I need to figure this out for. Stock Android keyboard in the emulator and many custom keyboards don't have this issue.

Closed in #333.

This bug is not resolve.
On samsung J6, we have the same issue with the default keyboard

@jndefosse you're using version 3.0.2? I would not be surprised to discover another edge case where keyboards are doing something unusual, but I'd be extremely surprised if this specific bug is what you're running into. Are you able to reproduce the issue using the example app?

[jndefosse]

@mgod I download the master yesterday.
When the app started, we have two addresses in the textfield. I types mar, i select the first item in the list and after i type another letter, and it's appear mar + the letter.

Thank you! I'll take a look and see if I can see what's going wrong here, but it might take me a while. I thought I'd done a pretty thorough job on this bug, so my next step might be to build a debug logging system into the library so you can reproduce the bug and send me the exact input logs that happened.

[jndefosse]

Great.
Notify me when the library is ready
