Answer 1

try it

    searchAutoComplete.setThreshold(0);
    searchAutoComplete.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
                @Override
                public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {
                }

                @Override
                public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {//cut last probel
                    if (charSequence.length() > 1) {
                        if (charSequence.charAt(charSequence.length() - 1) == ' ') {
                            searchAutoComplete.setText(charSequence.subSequence(0, charSequence.length() - 1));
                            searchAutoComplete.setSelection(charSequence.length() - 1);
                        }
                    }
                   }


                @Override
                public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
                }
            });


    //when clicked in autocomplete text view
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            switch (view.getId()) {
              case R.id.header_search_etv:
                    if (searchAutoComplete.getText().toString().length() == 0) {
                        searchAutoComplete.setText(" ");
                    }
             break;
            }
        }):
