I have a AutocompleteTextView and it works fine. When I write a word it shows the relevant result but I want to show all items without writing any word in AutocompleteTextVi

If other solutions does not work for you try this instead. Popup is displayed always on click.

   public class InstantAutoComplete extends AppCompatAutoCompleteTextView {

    public InstantAutoComplete(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public InstantAutoComplete(Context arg0, AttributeSet arg1) {
        super(arg0, arg1);
    }

    public InstantAutoComplete(Context arg0, AttributeSet arg1, int arg2) {
        super(arg0, arg1, arg2);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean enoughToFilter() {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            performClick();
        }
        return super.onTouchEvent(event);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean performClick() {
        if (getFilter() != null && !isPopupShowing()) {
            performFiltering(getText(), 0);
            showDropDown();
        }
        return super.performClick();
    }
}
