Hiding keyboard also hide dropdown

[Dmitriy]

Hello!

When using SFAutocomplete, if the user enters something and presses done on the virtual keyboard (iOS for example), the dropdown with options also disappears.

Is it possible to somehow leave the Dropdown until the user chooses a value.

This is useful in cases where the list is large, the user enters something and then tries to scroll through the Dropdown to select the desired value.

Now dropdown disappears and it is impossible to make a choice.

Thanks.

Hi Dmitriy, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

 

We have validated your query and prepared a sample as per your requirement. When you press done button, using Unfocused event if the entered text is not exists in DataSource collection again open the dropdown using IsDropdownOpen property as per below code snippet. 

 

Code snippet: 

 

void autoComplete_Unfocused(System.Object sender, Xamarin.Forms.FocusEventArgs e) 

{ 

              bool isItemExists = false; 

              if (enteredText != null) 

              { 

                             foreach (var item in autoComplete.DataSource) 

                             { 

                                           if ((item as Employee).Name == enteredText) 

                                           { 

                                                          isItemExists = true; 

                                                          break; 

                                           } 

                                           else 

                                           { 

                                                          isItemExists = false; 

                                           } 

                             } 

 

                             if (!isItemExists) 

                             { 

                                           autoComplete.IsDropDownOpen = true; 

                             } 

              }
