I have a  JTextFied, and I want to implement autopopup function like "Evalution Express Dialog" when Debug

 

 

user input some text into the JtextField, it triggers a http request to get a list of suggestion using the input keyworld.

 

I'm wondering what ui component or API to use to implement this.

 

Thanks for your kind suggestion!

You can use TextFieldWithAutoCompletion instead of JTextField, and do provide your variants in TextFieldWithAutoCompletionListProvider#getItems. Unfortunately, this is not well-documented, but you can find some examples of using these classes in intellij-community codebase.

There's no tutorial, but I believe you've got it working already, right? (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360000594084-Autocomplete-popup-is-not-coming-in-TextFieldWithAutoCompletion)
