Android AutoCompleteTextView Example Source Code

           What is AutoCompleteTextView ?

            Android AutoCompleteTextView finishes the word in light of the held words, so no compelling reason to compose all the characters of the word.

Android AutoCompleteTextView is an editable content field, it shows a rundown of recommendations in a drop down menu from which client can choose one and only proposal or quality.

Android AutoCompleteTextView is the subclass of EditText class. The MultiAutoCompleteTextView is the subclass of AutoCompleteTextView class.

Android AutoCompleteTextView Example

In this illustration, we are showing the programming dialects in the autocompletetextview. All the programming dialects are put away in string exhibit. We are utilizing the ArrayAdapter class to show the cluster substance. 

We should see the basic illustration of autocompletetextview in android.

activity_main.xml

Drag the AutoCompleteTextView and TextView from the pallete, now the activity_main.xml file will like this:

File: activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:androclass="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  
    android:layout_width="match_parent"  
    android:layout_height="match_parent"  
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >  
  
    <TextView  
        android:id="@+id/textView1"  
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"  
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"  
        android:layout_marginTop="15dp"  
        android:text="@string/what_is_your_favourite_programming_language_" />  
  
    <AutoCompleteTextView  
        android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextView1"  
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"  
        android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"  
        android:layout_marginLeft="36dp"  
        android:layout_marginTop="17dp"  
        android:ems="10"  
        android:text="">  
  
        <requestFocus />  
    </AutoCompleteTextView>  
      
</RelativeLayout>  

Activity class

How about we compose the code of AutoCompleteTextView.

package com.dheeruapps.autocompletetextview;  
  
import android.os.Bundle;  
import android.app.Activity;  
import android.graphics.Color;  
import android.view.Menu;  
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;  
import android.widget.AutoCompleteTextView;  
  
public class MainActivity extends Activity {  
    String[] language ={"C","C++","Java",".NET","iPhone","Android","ASP.NET","PHP"};  
    @Override  
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
          
        //Creating the instance of ArrayAdapter containing list of language names  
           ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>  
            (this,android.R.layout.select_dialog_item,language);  
        //Getting the instance of AutoCompleteTextView  
           AutoCompleteTextView actv= (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1);  
           actv.setThreshold(1);//will start working from first character  
           actv.setAdapter(adapter);//setting the adapter data into the AutoCompleteTextView  
           actv.setTextColor(Color.RED);  
                          
    }  
  
    @Override  
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {  
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.  
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);  
        return true;  
    }  
  
}  

Output:
