try this:

phoneName.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View arg1, int pos,
                long id) {
              Toast.makeText(check.this," selected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        }
    });

Using this Listener, if I have a list of 10 items, but while typing autocomplete only produces 1 of the items, once i click on that item, will the `pos` parameter be the index in the entire list, or only in what is displayed? – JuiCe Feb 06 '13 at 14:55

@JuiCe pos will be the index of the item displayed. – Nishant Feb 06 '13 at 15:05

`Toast.makeText(Check.this, adapter.getItem(position).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();` – Prabs May 01 '17 at 05:42
Note: I had to have the `setOnItemSelectedListener` set in order to implement `setOnItemClickListener`. Not sure why but it won't compile with just `setOnItemClickListener`. – Smitty-Werben-Jager-Manjenson Jun 07 '19 at 19:31
@Prabs what will be the actual position of a item while typing? – Aminul Haque Aome Mar 10 '20 at 11:09

In kotlin, this would be:

autoCompleteTextView.setOnItemClickListener { _, _, position, _ -> 
    // You can get the label or item that the user clicked:
    val value = adapter.getItem(position) ?: ""
    Toast.makeText(this, value, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

I also recommend you name your variables starting with a lowercase letter to not confuse them with types.

Kotlin :

    v.autoCompleteTextView.setOnItemClickListener { parent, view, position, id ->
        Toast.makeText(requireContext(),"$position selected",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
    }

There is a better way to get text of chosen item

phoneName.doOnTextChanged { text, start, before, count ->
        //do something with "text" variable
    }
