Questions tagged [autocompletetextview]

AutoCompleteTextView is an Android widget that automatically shows complete suggestions as the user types.

The AutoCompleteTextView obtains the list of suggestions from filtering its Adapter (which must be set to allow complete suggestions) using the text the user enters in the widget's input area. To trigger the list of suggestions the user must insert a minimum number of characters defined by the threshold attribute.
