Question

Is there any means to implement the auto-complete word hint in Android, with the word hint retrieved from the database?

Answer 1

public static String[] COUNTRIES = { "Afganistan", "Algeria", "Albania",
        "Angola", "Anguilla", "Antigua and\nBarbuda", "Argentina",
        "Armenia", "Aruba", "Australia", "Austria", "Azerbaijan",
        "Bahamas", "Bahrain", "Bangladesh", "Barbados", "Belarus" };

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
    super.onCreate(icicle);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.txtCountry);

    countryNames = COUNTRIES; // this is where you would fire a loader
    // and set the adapter when you get a result, so the following would be in a callback
    ed.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_item, countryNames));
}
