Dynamic data

[sajjadjaved01]

Hi there.
I'm fetching a list of Users from API, i have debugged every thing, data is good.
The issue is i'm unable to show suggestions.

Mean while i can able to do that with static data, the suggestions are showing, but with API data filtering is working on that data, but suggestions list not showing.
Any Idea..

AutoCompleteTextField<UserDataModel>( key: key, clearOnSubmit: false, suggestions: usersList, style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white70), decoration: InputDecoration( hintText: 'Search Here', contentPadding: EdgeInsets.only(left: 10.2, top: 15.0), border: InputBorder.none, hintStyle: TextStyle(color: Colors.white70), suffixIcon: IconButton( iconSize: 30.0, color: Colors.white70, icon: Icon(Icons.search), onPressed: () {}, ), ), itemFilter: (item, query) { print(item.name); return item.name .toLowerCase() .contains(query.toLowerCase()); }, itemSorter: (a, b) { return a.name.compareTo(b.name); }, itemSubmitted: (item) { setState(() { searchTextField.textField.controller.text = item.name; }); }, itemBuilder: (context, item) { return row(item); }, ),

I'm having the same problem. Any suggestions?

still figuring this ...

I got it. You should update the Widget and call the setState.

Like:
setState(() { autoCompleteTextField = updateField(); });

I put this in the textChanged listener, after receive the response from back-end.

what is updateField() for @Arkasher
can you please explain, it a little further.

[Arkasher]

updateField is the method that will return a new instance of the autoCompleteTextField. The setState is called after you update the suggestions list.

@Arkasher if you don't mind showing me a full code example of your suggested implementation for fetching data dynamic from API and using autocomplete, I would really appreciate it! I'm facing this issue now
