Stop AutoCompleteTextView extending text on clicking suggestion

Question

I have an AutoCompleteTextView that I filter every time a new letter is typed. The filtering process contains a backround process (the runQuery method) since I am receiving data from an external database which takes a little time. This means after a new letter is typed - or deleted - the lists (array_name, array_id) are refreshed with the new data and that's what I show in the drop-down menu.

What happens by default? The filter runs, the runQuery queries the data I need, the lists are correctly filled and when I click on one of the suggestions it works just fine.

However, when I click on a suggestion the AutoCompleteTextView makes my code in my FilterProvider run AGAIN because it extends the text into the suggestion and it is considered a text change. This means that the runQuery will run again and delete the lists (array_name, array_id) instantly just before the click is executed. This only performed when I click on the suggestion before the second runQuery finishes. See:

Is it possible to somehow disable this functionality of the AutoCompleteTextView so that it doesn't extend the text when I click on the suggestion or do you have any other suggestions to solve this?

       actv_name = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.actv_name);
                actv_name.setThreshold(3);
                String[] from = { "name","bid" };
                int[] to = { android.R.id.text1 };
                a = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, null, from, to, 0);
                a.setStringConversionColumn(1);
