+
+<p>{@link android.widget.AutoCompleteTextView} is an implementation of the EditText widget that will provide
+auto-complete suggestions as the user types. The suggestions are extracted from a collection of strings.</p>
+
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Start a new project/Activity called HelloAutoComplete.</li>
+ <li>Open the layout file.
+ Make it like so:
+<pre>
+&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
+&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
+ android:orientation="horizontal"
+ android:layout_width="fill_parent"
+ android:layout_height="wrap_content">
+
+ &lt;TextView
+ android:layout_width="wrap_content"
+ android:layout_height="wrap_content"
+ android:text="Country" />
+
+ &lt;AutoCompleteTextView android:id="@+id/edit"
+ android:layout_width="fill_parent"
+ android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
+
+&lt;/LinearLayout>
+</pre>
+</li>
+
+<li>Open HelloAutoComplete.java and insert the following as the <code>onCreate</code> method:
+<pre>
+&#64;Override
+protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
+ super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
+ setContentView(R.layout.main);
+
+ AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.edit);
+ ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
+ android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, COUNTRIES);
+ textView.setAdapter(adapter);
+}
+</pre>
+ <p>Here, we create an AutoComplteteTextView from our layout. We then
+ create an {@link android.widget.ArrayAdapter} that binds a <code>simple_dropdown_item_1line</code>
+ layout item to each entry in the <code>COUNTRIES</code> array (which we'll add next).
+ The last part sets the ArrayAdapter to associate with our AutoCompleteTextView.</p>
+</li>
+
+<li>After the <code>onCreate()</code> method, add the String array:
+<pre>
+static final String[] COUNTRIES = new String[] {
+ "Afghanistan", "Albania", "Algeria", "American Samoa", "Andorra",
+ "Angola", "Anguilla", "Antarctica", "Antigua and Barbuda", "Argentina",
+ "Armenia", "Aruba", "Australia", "Austria", "Azerbaijan",
