AutoCompleteTextView.isPopupShowing() is always FALSE

Question

I am trying to find out if AutoCompleteTextView dropdown is shown/hidden. On button click I want to show dropdown (if it's hidden), and hide it (if it's showing). For this purpose I use method isPopupShowing(), but it always returning FALSE.

Example:

@Override
public void onClick(View view) {

    if (view.getId() == button.getId()) {

        if (autoCompleteTextView.isPopupShowing()) {
            autoCompleteTextView.dismissDropDown();
        } else {
            autoCompleteTextView.showDropDown();
        }   
    }   
}

Answer 1

When AutoCompleteTextView lost focus, the dropdown disappears. So the dropdown is always invisible when you click the button.

Simply add a new boolean property to your listener to remember last state.
