can you add the option to appear a empty table while its being load from the web service. or else we cant find whether the function is working or not.

in other words there should be activity indicator until the data is fetched from the server to app.

EddyBorja commented 11 years ago

Sure. Shouldn't be too hard.

What will you expect if no results are fetched back from the server? Should the table disappear?

rockylive007 commented 11 years ago

add a bool property to turn on/off this feature.

its like this. we need some kind of indicator to wait until the results appear. currently it's taking lot of time to appear table in a slow internet connection.

my suggestion is on tap of the textfield empty table will appear with the max number of rows we specified in the beginning.

after the handler is executed with the objects of the below method table will goes to normal behavior.

(void)autoCompleteTextField:(MLPAutoCompleteTextField )textField possibleCompletionsForString:(NSString )string completionHandler:(void (^)(NSArray *))handler;

I'm guessing maybe the activity indicator should appear as a little spinning icon toward the right side of the textfield? This prevents the table opening up for no reason.

rockylive007 commented 10 years ago

cool. that would be great..

Hi there,

I had the same issue, I returned an empty NSArray in top of autoCompleteTextField in my CustomDatasource, the table doesn't appear anymore.

Just my .02
