It would be helpful if you could add the code you're using, especially the part which causes the crash. Also post a more complete logcat. That line isn't probably the one to focus on — samugi, Jun 24 '15 at 06:18
area_auto_adapter = new AutoCompleteAdapter(Home_Activity.this, R.layout.searchtext, R.id.searchtext, area_name_array); txt_area.setAdapter(area_auto_adapter); — Harini Pasupathy, Jun 24 '15 at 06:38

0

It shows negative error exception.
So please check the array size whether the array you passed has a greater than size 0 or the adapter which you set to the autocomplete may be null or empty.

My below code works perfectly in lollipop, can you check it out

class GooglePlacesAutocompleteAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<VehicleVo>
            implements Filterable {

        private LayoutInflater mInflater;

        public GooglePlacesAutocompleteAdapter(Context context,
                int textViewResourceId) {
            super(context, textViewResourceId);
            mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
            resultList = new ArrayList<VehicleVo>();
        }

        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            return resultList.size();
        }

        @Override
        public VehicleVo getItem(int position) {
            return resultList.get(position);
        }

        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

            final ViewHolder holder;
            //your layout design code goes gere
            return convertView;
        }

        class ViewHolder {
            private TextView sLocationName;

        }

        @Override
        public Filter getFilter() {
            Filter filter = new Filter() {
                @Override
                protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
                    FilterResults filterResults = new FilterResults();
                    if (TextUtils.isEmpty(constraint)) {
                        resultList.addAll(vehiclelist);
                    } else {
                        // Retrieve the autocomplete results.
                        resultList = autocomplete(constraint.toString());
                        // Assign the data to the FilterResults
                        filterResults.values = resultList;
                        filterResults.count = resultList.size();
                    }
                    return filterResults;
                }

                @Override
                protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint,
                        FilterResults results) {

                    LogUtil.d("result String" + results.count);

                    if (results != null && results.count > 0) {
                        notifyDataSetChanged();
                    } else {
                        notifyDataSetChanged();
                    }
                }
            };
            return filter;

        }
    }

hi,madhu Thanks for your reply then your saying that there is a problem in my adapter class only,but it works fine for all devices except the version 5.0 — Harini Pasupathy, Jun 24 '15 at 07:16
no it will not work: in `publishResults` you are not using `results.values` at all, so how is it supposed to work? also, please post a **working code**: yours doesn't even compile — pskink, Jun 24 '15 at 07:31

Autocomplete textview got crashed for devices vesion 5.0 above
