MultiCompleteTextView
MultiCompleteTextView: In this, when we enter a character regarding a predefined array, this will automatically show the list of items of the array. So in this application we will show a list of animals that we will got from the string.xml file. In MultiCompleteTextView we will show this by writing this code:
multiAutoCompleteTextView=(MultiAutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.multiAutoCompleteTextView);
ArrayAdapter adapter=new ArrayAdapter(this,android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line,getResources().getStringArray(R.array.ItemAraay));
multiAutoCompleteTextView.setAdapter(adapter);
multiAutoCompleteTextView.setTokenizer(new MultiAutoCompleteTextView.CommaTokenizer());

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
