Answer 4

You can use simple_list_item_1 in ArrayAdapter,

ArrayAdapter<String> autoadapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,cities);
            city = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.location);

Another solution is to quit the style in AndroidManifest.xml
