  • i don't know how to filter autocomplete for persian language, and i've never try it , try to add it as an issue or question in google group android , and you will get help from there, and from my side, i will search for a solution for your problem incha Allah – Houcine Jul 09 '12 at 08:54
  • Have you written your own Custom Filtering ArrayAdapter ? The question is a bit unclear in terms of details. In case u have already written your custome filter, try putting more logs in the getFilter() function to check how the function is behaving. or else copy paste your code here for us to detect the problem. In case you need help in writing your own custom filtering array adapter you can follow the link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6492214/custom-filtering-arrayadapter-in-listview?rq=1 . – Nilesh Pawar Jul 13 '12 at 11:58

    I am just guessing here as I haven't seen the Android provided code of the filter whether it supports Persian,Arabic etc. I would have tried writing my own filter to get more control over the filtering process. – Nilesh Pawar Jul 13 '12 at 12:08
  • no i have not, i was in the impression that the AutocompleteTextView will work for RTL language as is it is for english,french language. please i am new to android and I will appreciate if you can guide me to implement my requirements. – ZAJ Jul 14 '12 at 03:58
