[Android] Clear Text field after suggestion chosen : is it possible ?

[greg-hrv]

Hi all,

Is there a way to clear the text field after select ? For instance, in my constructor, I set the text field like : suggestBox.Text = "12". It's okay. But when I set the same instruction in SuggestionChosen event, I have an error. Here is my code : void OnSuggestBoxSuggestionChosen(System.Object sender, dotMorten.Xamarin.Forms.AutoSuggestBoxSuggestionChosenEventArgs e) { AutoSuggestBox box = (AutoSuggestBox)sender; suggestBox.Text = "12"; }

Here is the error : Message : Length cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: length

Have you any ideas ?

Thanks

I'm a bit confused. In your example you're setting text to 12 and not clearing it?

@dotMorten Sorry, here is my real case.

First of all, I fill the ItemSource with data from an API. After select an item, the SuggestionChosen event save the selected item in the local database. Then, when the item is saved, I would like to reset the text to "Empty" like : AutoSuggestBox box = (AutoSuggestBox)sender; suggestBox.Text = string.Empty; But the "suggestBox.Text = string.Empty;" throws an error and I don't understand why.
