I achieved this by using an AutoCompleteTextView, disabling the keyboard and showing the options on touch.

ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, getResources().getStringArray(R.array.locations));

AutoCompleteTextView mTextView = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.location);

mTextView.setAdapter(adapter);
mTextView.setKeyListener(null);
mTextView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener(){
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event){
        ((AutoCompleteTextView) v).showDropDown();
        return false;
    }
});
