Hello Telerik team !
I would like to suggest an improvement which should already be implemented as it may be a common requirement. (notice that I'm aware it's still in beta that's why I suggest a feature request).
Context :
Use a RadAutoCompleteView. Start to type something and select an item from the suggestions.
Current behavior :
The item is well selected but the keyboard remains visible even if you hide the suggestion view.
Expected behavior :
When selecting an item, the keyboard should be collapsed. (I tried to use a KeyboardService injected from platform specific implementation with dependency injection. I manage to make it work on Android but I couldn't find a workaround on iOS).
PS : it would be awesome to have a bindable property on this control which allows us to tell the control "hide the suggestion view and hide the keyboard when an item gets selected (touch input from user)". Name suggested : HideSuggestionAndKeyboardOnItemSelected (I didn't find a shorter name sorry haha). Type : bool.
Pointing how to achieve that should be in the documentation as most of developpers who will use this control may want to achieve the same behavior. You'll save time and theirs if they don't need to reach you out and open a ticket to ask you how to do that.
Best regards to everyone!
When we set the ShowSuggestionView to false the filtering logic is not triggered - it should work like the AutoComplete control. Available in minor release 2018.3.1122. It will also be available in the R1 2019 release.
Available in minor release 2018.3.1109. It will also be available in the R1 2019 release.
Make it possible to set different width to the SuggestionView than the width of the input field.
LG G4 with Android 6.0 Android 4.2.2 Available in minor release 2018.3.1109. It will also be available in the R1 2019 release.
Add an event for the clear button click. This functionality could be achieved by listening to PropertyChanged, or using TwoWay binding, on the AutoComplete.Text property. However on iOS this doesn't occur when the X button is clicked, so it's not a viable workaround.
Provide an Auto option for the SuggestionViewHeight that would dynamically change depending on the content.
Users need to restrict suggestion of already selected tokens. In other words when users create a token, that particular item should not be suggested when typing new tokens anymore.
