AutoComplete TextBox in Android

In this blog, I will show how to achieve AutoComplete TextBox property, and how it works.

Java Code:


MainActivity.java

package com.example.autocomplete;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

                   } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println("error" + e.toString());
        }
        save = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnsave);
