Glitch getText() in AutoCompleteTextView?

Question

Android

In the onItemClick event for the AutoCompleteTextView, you need to get the text of the AutoCompleteTextView itself.
It doesn't work for me, AutoCompleteTextView.getText().toString() returns some nonsense:

AutoCompleteTextView mEditText = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.myEditText);

mEditText.setAdapter(new MyAdapterCompleteItem()); // adapter with CompleteItems

mEditText.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long id) {

   CompleteItem myitem = (CompleteItem) adapterView.getItemAtPosition(position);
   String str = mEditText.getText().toString();
    // здесь str == ‘[email protected]'
 }
}
});

I don't quite understand what you need? if you need the text that became in the AutoCompleteTextView after clicking, then isn't it easier to call the getItem method in the adapter?

final AutoCompleteTextView mEditText = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.my_edit_text);


        final ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, COUNTRIES);

        mEditText.setAdapter(adapter); // adapter with CompleteItems

        mEditText.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long id) {

                String myitem = (String) adapterView.getItemAtPosition(position);
                String str = mEditText.getText().toString();
                String item = adapter.getItem(position);
                Log.d("ITEM = ", myitem);
                Log.d("STR = " , str);
                Log.d("ITEM IS = ", item);
            }
        });

On the emulator, all 3 methods work, what exactly you need to choose yourself, but my adapter is different from yours, maybe you should pay attention to it
