Question
What is the difference between EditText
and AutoCompleteTextView
in Android?
Can anyone explain with some example?
Thanks, Balaram
Solution
Well, AutoCompleteTextView is a subclass of EditText that also provides the possibility to show completion hints that the user can pick up. See the JavaDoc for AutoCompleteTextView and the tutorial.
OTHER TIPS
An EditText is a generic input widget, whereas an autoCompleteTextview uses prediction to suggest input alternatives. Connect it to an array or a cursor and it will filter the content based on what the user starts to type,
Look at ApiDemos for an example.
