AutoCompleteTextView

AutoCompleteTextView is Android’s text field with completion suggestions.

In the current Droid source pin it inherits EditText. Text editing from that family works. Completion adapters, thresholds, and suggestion APIs are not wrapped yet.

Use it when…

Use AutoCompleteTextView when the field should grow completion behavior and the adapter surface can land later.

For plain text input, use EditText.

How it behaves

AutoCompleteTextView keeps the current EditText / TextView text surface, including text(_:), plus shared view configuration such as onClick(_:), padding, enabled(_:), and visibility(_:).

The current type does not expose adapter(_:), setThreshold(_:), showDropDown(), dismissDropDown(), or item-click listeners at this pin.

Examples

Place a completion field

AutoCompleteTextView(id: 3901)
    .hint("City")
    .padding(h: 16, v: 12)

Start from a known value

AutoCompleteTextView(id: 3902, "Berlin")

Initializers

AutoCompleteTextView()
AutoCompleteTextView(id: 3901)
AutoCompleteTextView(id: 3901, someStringState)

Notes

Android’s AutoCompleteTextView is defined by its adapter and threshold. That surface is not part of the current Droid API.
