Add below code into your onCreate() method, it will solve your problem.

autoCompleteTextView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
        Log.i("SELECTED TEXT WAS------->", arg0.getItemAtPosition(arg2));
        String starttext=arg0.getItemAtPosition(arg2);
    }
});
