if you are wanna add the data in String[] arr=new String[100]; then its wrong. You can do the same work as in form of ArrayList but remember you will never put here a Getter/Setter class. Just simply declare it. See this example.

Declare in main partition:

 ArrayListarr=new ArrayList<>();

and then initilize it in this way:

 for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
                    JSONObject jsonObject1 = (JSONObject) jsonArray.get(i);
                    String imei = jsonObject1.getString("imei");
                    String name = jsonObject1.getString("name");
                    String my_pic = jsonObject1.getString("my_pic");
                    String email = jsonObject1.getString("email");

                    arr.add(name);
                }


                adapter= new ArrayAdapter<>
                        (this, android.R.layout.select_dialog_item, arr);
                autoCompleteText.setThreshold(1);//will start working from first character
                autoCompleteText.setAdapter(adapter);//setting the adapter data into the AutoCompleteTextView
                autoCompleteText.setTextColor(Color.RED);


            }

I hope this will work for you....
