android how an EditText work as AutoComplete

Question

I want my EditText should work as AutoComplete, for that I write in XML file

android:inputType=\"textAutoComplete|textAutoCorrect\"         


        

Answer 1

I use this code:

1) On AndroidManifest.xml

2) On xml layout you must use AutoCompleteTextView instead of EditText.

3) Use this on Activity file

private ArrayAdapter getEmailAddressAdapter(Context context) {
    Account[] accounts = AccountManager.get(context).getAccounts();
    String[] addresses = new String[accounts.length];
    for (int i = 0; i < accounts.length; i++) { 
        addresses[i] = accounts[i].name;
    }
    return new ArrayAdapter(context, android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, addresses);
}

4) On onCreate activity:

AutoCompleteTextView autoCompleteTextView1 = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1);
autoCompleteTextView1.setAdapter(getEmailAddressAdapter(this));
