Question

I have an application which has a contacts module and I am using JAVA for the same.I have to implement the “Auto complete” functionality for the same. I.e., as i start typing the alphabets, search results start appearing and will eventually narrow down to the matching letter after entering the same.

Please help me with some reference JAVA code, API’s and some cool stuffs to go as an add-on.

If you are looking for some example see this

This one is basic example to make a auto complete.
And if you want some jazzy look and field then you can use jquery plug in client side
