Difference between MultiAutoCompleteTextView and AutoCompleteTextView

Question

Can someone explain the difference between MultiAutoCompleteTextView and AutoCompleteTextView?

Answer 1

AutocompleteTextView only offers suggestions about the whole sentence and MultiAutoCompleteTextView offers suggestions for every token in the sentence. You can specify what is the delimiter between tokens.

String[] words=new String[] {
     "word1", "word2", "word3", "word4", "word5"
 };

MultiAutoCompleteTextView macTv = (MultiAutoCompleteTextView) this.findViewById(R.id.mac_tv);
ArrayAdapter aaStr = new ArrayAdapter(this,android.R.layout.dropdown_item,words);
macTv.setAdapter(aaStr);
macTv.setTokenizer(new MultiAutoCompleteTextView.CommaTokenizer() );

and:

with this example the suggestion comes after every comma.
