How to get search suggestions when I type some text in my edittext. I am not talking about the interface, but how do i get the actual suggestions like when you type something in the google search bar.
Are there any APIs available?
Thx!
Rahul.
The Google Suggest API seems to be what you’re looking for:

You can try it on that page, and it will show you the results of your query as XML, when you click submit.
Then, on Android you would use an XML parser, and there’s a good example of that here:

Here’s the official Android documentation on parsing XML: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/network-ops/xml.html
