AutoCompleteTextView in Android

AutoCompleteTextView is a sub class of EditText.

AutoCompleteTextView  shows completion suggestions automatically while the user is typing.

The list of suggestions is displayed in a drop down menu from which the user can choose
an item to replace the content of the edit box with.

The drop down can be dismissed at any time by pressing the back key or,
if no item is selected in the drop down, by pressing the enter/dpad center key.

The list of suggestions is obtained from a data adapter and appears only
after a given number of characters defined by the threshold.

The following Eample shows how to create a text view which suggests various states names
while the user is typing:

UI Layout(autocomplite_tv.xml)
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Enter your state name ?" />
    <AutoCompleteTextView
        android:id="@+id/states"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
