[aanashammal (أبو حمزة)]

Hi everyone
I was uploaded the amazing extension autocomplete

Autocomplete textbox

Hi, i’m searching an autocomplete text box. i find an extension (AutoComplete plugin - AutoCompleteBox · Appinventor/Thunkable Extensions), it works great but there is a problem. the backgroud color of the autocomplete and text color are both black like in the image. [companion] is there a solution for this? Thanks!

but when i do this i must put list and it will complete from list success

I have a firebase database and have custemer names
i want in textbox when i write letter appear custemer names that storege in database which begin with that letter instead of the list in image 111
11111
111111
… etc

You should ask in the community of the builder you use. In this case in the App Inventor community.

1. Get all the names from a database
2. Put it in a global list.
3. Then the Set completion text box block where you add the required text box component and the above said global list
4. Finally use the After select event to store the selected text into the required textbox

( As Shown in MIT screenshot don’t try to add the set completion in initialise event because you ddint have the require list. After getting data from firebase only you must set it. I hope you get the point)

1. Initialize one global variable with empty list

2. When firebase got value event ,
   If get tag = customer name
   Then add items to this global list
   Item get values

3. Set autocompletion Set completion
   Text box - set required text box
   List - get global variable
