How to get/set text value of AutoCompleteTextView in Xamarin?

Question

This problem looks trivial but I can't find solution for Xamarin.

Answer 1

AutoCompleteTextView extends the EditText class so you should be able to get and set the text just by playing around with the Text property like this:

var autocompleteTextView = FindViewById<AutoCompleteTextView>(Resource.Id.AutoCompleteInput);
string currentText = autocompleteTextView.Text;
autocompleteTextView.Text = "New text";
