Is there a way to display drop down in Multi auto complete textview without typing even a single text

Question

There a method to set threshold to 1. so that whenever user types a single character, match will be found and it displays drop down.

But what I really want here is, all items should be listed when I tap the "multiautocompletetextview". (just like a spinner.)

I cannot set threshold to zero or less than zero, if I set so that will be changed to 1.

Call showDropDown() in your onCreate()

Displays the drop down on screen.
