Crash when selecting ingredient

Commit d65c6517a5d59eb73e0b5c5ac393373e1687ffb6:

This was written to fix #1 . However it crashes when an ingredient is selected.

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to com.vish.testapp.Ingredient
                                                                  at com.vish.testapp.IngredientsCompletionView.getViewForObject(IngredientsCompletionView.java:24)
                                                                  at com.tokenautocomplete.TokenCompleteTextView.buildSpanForObject(TokenCompleteTextView.java:755)
                                                                  at com.tokenautocomplete.TokenCompleteTextView.replaceText(TokenCompleteTextView.java:767)

I wonder if the crash is happening in this line (inside TokenAutoComplete)

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked cast")
@Override
protected CharSequence convertSelectionToString(Object object) {
    selectedObject = (T) object;

It looks like a cast to the generic type (T) which in my case is Ingredient.

EDIT: No, it was a cast from String to Ingredient, not the other way around.

It looks like this is something related to http://www.studytonight.com/java/serialization-and-deserialization.php

Figured it out. (facepalm)

background

The TokenCompletionTextView (see source) needs to be initialized inside an Activity (obviously).

In my code, I am doing the init as follows.

• There is an ArrayAdapter inside AddRecipeActivity which stores the list of ingredients.

• I do the initialization within the onCreate method as

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    IngredientsCompletionView completionView;
    ....
    ....
  
  //initialize TokenAutocompleteView
  completionView = (IngredientsCompletionView) findViewById(R.id.searchView);
  ArrayAdapter<String> adp = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
        android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, new String[]{"ing1","ing2","ing3"});
  completionView.setAdapter(adp);
  completionView.setTokenListener(this);

The ArrayAdapter is initialized as String but it should be initialized as ArrayAdapter<Ingredient> for this thing to work.

This issue is verified fixed.
