searchspinner

add search functionality to a spinner and even allow/disallow users to enter their own values to the spinner. Also have the functionality of adding user's own entered values to the list already loaded in the spinner

Step 1: Add this to your root build.gradle(Project level) at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Step 2: Add the dependency to your dependencies in the build.gradle (Module:App level)

dependencies {
         compile 'com.github.JamperCin:searchingspinner:2.0.2'
}

Step 3: Just include in it in your xml as a normal view like:

 <com.jamper.searchingspinner.UI.SearchingSpinner
        android:id="@+id/me"
        android:entries="@array/CountryCodes"
        android:textSize="16sp"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"/>

and call it from the Activity like:

  SearchingSpinner  spinner = (SearchingSpinner)findViewById(R.id.me);
  spinner.addEntries(getList());   **you can add your list string data here programmatically** 
  spinner.setTitle("Search here");  **Add a title to the searching dialog that pops up**
  spinner.setAcceptLocalEntries(false); **Allow user to enter a value that is not found in the list available** 
  spinner.setLocalEntriesAddable(false);  **Add user's own entries that are not in the list to the already existing list**
  spinner.setItemOnClickDismissDialog(false);   **Dismiss the dialog when user selects an item from the list**

Register an onItemSelectedListener to the spinner and get the item selected and its position from the list

  spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelected() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(String item, int itemPosition) {
            //Get the selected item and its position here
        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(String item) {
           //Get the selected item here 
        }
    });
