Overview

The Xamarin.iOS Autocomplete control is highly optimized to quickly load and populate suggestions from a large volume of data depending on the users’ input characters. The Autocomplete control allows users to select one or more items from the suggestion list. It can display the selected items in the input view with images, text, and close buttons to remove items as needed.


Multiple selection

The input field has been designed to address scenarios such as email address bars. You can select multiple items with token representation or simply divide them with a delimiter.

Token representation

Customizable token representation allows users to remove an item with its close button.

Delimiter

Selected items can be divided with desired characters such as “$” for dollar representation or ‘,’ for traditional comma separation.

Performance

The autocomplete control has been designed with performance in mind in every aspect. It has several optimizations that allows users to load and search a million items in an instant.

When a character is entered, the control searches for items related to the entered character and filters results, displaying the suggestion in the dropdown list.

Load more

If there are more filtered items than can be viewed, there is no need to worry about populating them. Instead, limit them by using one of the options from the control, and load more if needed by providing a load more button.

Diacritic sensitivity

The control does not stick with one type of keyboard, so you can populate items from a language with letters containing diacritics, and search for them with English characters from an en-US keyboard. Users can enable or disable the diacritic sensitivity.

The autocomplete control applies search logic that suggests items based on the search. This support applies custom typo toleration functionality to the control.

Suggest, append, or both

The autocomplete control can suggest a list of filtered items in a pop-up or append the rest of the suggested words in the input area. This can also append the matched item and display the list of filtered items suggested in a pop-up at the same time.


Pop-up

When the user starts typing in the autocomplete control, the pop-up is opened, displaying the filtered items that match the entered text.

Pop-up placement
