SfAutocomplete does not work on IOS and with issues on Android

[Jiri Matejka]

Hello,

am using SfAutoComplete in my Xamarin.Forms app and have following issues.

In XAML, I have:

<autocomplete:SfAutoComplete x:Name="acpckContacts" Watermark="Enter Contact Name"

                                       SuggestionMode="StartsWith" AutoCompleteMode="Suggest"

                                       HeightRequest="40" DropDownTextSize="15" TextSize="15"

                                       MinimumPrefixCharacters="1" MaximumDropDownHeight="200"/>

in code behind the list is populated as follows:

 List<string> allContacts = new List<string>();

                allContacts.Add("Indonesie");

                allContacts.Add("Iraq");

                allContacts.Add("Iran");

                allContacts.Add("Iceland");

                allContacts.Add("India");

                allContacts.Add("Iberia");

                acpckContacts.AutoCompleteSource = allContacts;

IOS:

If I enter any number of characters the list of options is not displayed at all 

Android

The list of options is displayed properly but the characters are extremely small, hardly readable. Tried to play with DropDownTextSize and TextSize attributes but with no luck. 

Attaching screenshots.

Any help appreciated.

thanks

Jiri

Hi Jiri,

Thank you for your update.

Query : In iOS If I enter any number of characters the list of options is not displayed at all.

Actually the keyboard hides the SuggestionBox since the AutoComplete is placed in bottom of the page. You can change the position of the SuggestionBox using SuggestionBoxPlacement property.

Query: The list of options is displayed properly but the characters are extremely small, hardly readable.

By Changing the property DropDownItemHeight will result better visibility to read. We have prepared a sample for your convenience please download the same from the below available link.
