Add the ability to retrieve the phone number/email/...

Add the ability to retrieve the phone number/email/... from the selected person.

To be able to display the name of the selected person but use his email/phone/... for the rest of the app

I do not really get what you want to do: does the getTextPattern xml attribute does the trick?

But this returns the data directly into the AutoCompleteTextView.
What if I want to display the Name is the AutoCompleteTextView and also get the phone number like this:

AutoCompleteTextView  myAutoCompleteTextView ...
myAutoCompleteTextView.getPhone()

or

myAutoCompleteTextView.getContact()

hey guys, What Wushu wants to do is to be able to retrieve a string of the name or number, so that would be adding another public method different than gettext.

public String getName(){
if(isSomeoneSelected()) {return selected.getName().toString();}
else{return null}
}

Ok, implemented it as @manuelsilverio01 proposed.

Can you test it? It is not released yet, you have to compile the sources

Perfect
