I have an android application that requres a login based on users in a SQL database.
We are wanting to steer away from user names as the primary login will be for a school full of students. Can you auto fill (while typing) in a text widget with student names from the SQL database? If so, would it be quick enough?
Basically I want to start typing a student’s name and it auto fill like when you are typing a text Message to a friend in your contact list. Thus no usernames will have to be generated.
A simple yes or no would suffice.
Yes, you can, using an AutoCompleteTextView. But if it’s a remote database you’ll probably want to query it and have the data around before they try to start typing.
