AutoCompleteTextView is a sort of hybrid between the EditText & the Spinner. With autocompletion, as the user types, the text is treated as a prefix filter. Matches are shown in a selection list that drops down from the field (spinner).

AutoCompleteTextView is subclass of EditText, so you can configure all the standard look & feel aspects such as font face and color. In addition, this widget has a “android:completionThreshold ” property, to indicate the minimum number of characters a user must enter before the list filtering begins.
