Android Action Bar SearchView as Autocomplete?

Question

I am using a SearchView in the Action Bar. I want to use autocomplete feature on the search view to get results from the database.

Is this possible? Or do I need to

You can do this with a CursorAdapter via something like:

MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat.getActionView(searchItem);

searchView.setSuggestionsAdapter(adapter);
