Answer 1

You can use the class AutoCompleteTextView and set the adapter that contains nothing AutoCompleteTextView Class Reference

example

 public class CountriesActivity extends Activity {
   protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
     super.onCreate(icicle);
     setContentView(R.layout.countries);

     ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
             android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, COUNTRIES);
     AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView)
             findViewById(R.id.countries_list);
     textView.setAdapter(adapter);
   }

   private static final String[] COUNTRIES = new String[] {""};
 }
