AutoCompleteTextView not showing any drop down items

I just saw your other question before seeing this one. I was struggling with autocomplete for some time and I almost reverted to your new implementation of downloading all the keywords until I finally got it to work. What I did was;

//In the onCreate
//The suggestArray is just a static array with a few keywords
this.suggestAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, this.suggestionsView, suggestArray);
//The setNotifyOnChange informs all views attached to the adapter to update themselves 
//if the adapter is changed
this.suggestAdapter.setNotifyOnChange(true);

In my textwatcher's onTextChanged method, I get the suggests using an asynctask

//suggestsThread is an AsyncTask object
suggestsThread.cancel(true);
suggestsThread = new WertAgentThread();
suggestsThread.execute(s.toString());

In the AsyncTask's onPostExecute I then update the autocompletetextview

//suggestions is the result of the http request with the suggestions
this.suggestAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.suggestions, suggestions);
this.suggestions.setAdapter(this.suggestAdapter);
//notifydatasetchanged forces the dropdown to be shown.
this.suggestAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

See setNotifyOnChange and notifyDataSetChanged for more information
