I think what you are looking for is this.

String s = this.mCountry.getEditableText().toString();

Where mCountry is the AutoCompleteTextView.

this.mCountry = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autocomplete_country);
    ArrayAdapter adapterCountry = new ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.list_item, countries);
    this.mCountry.setAdapter(adapterCountry);

mCountry is the list of countries, and I wanted to save the country selected in SharedPreferences.

Hope this helps.
