I’m looking for a library that does something similar to what the input field in Google’s search input does. I know it’s a long shot, but thought perhaps it’s part of the SDK and I’m overlooking it, or someone has written a handy lib.
The only difference between the google text hinting and what I want, is that I want to be able to add my own strings to the hints… the practical application here is that I have a huge list of company names and I want to help the users type them in (cause many of them are fairly long)…
I have a pretty good idea of how to write this myself if I absolutely have to, but was hoping that someone’s already done the heavy lifting.
Yup, it exists.
