I try to make my own MultiAutoCompleteTextView to make it works like the recipient field in the text messaging application in Android but with my own users list.
I used custom library on Github but no one seems to correspond to my need.
I see there's something like this here https://plus.google.com/+RomanNurik/posts/WUd7GrfZfiZ, but I didn't manage to provide my own users list instead of phone contacts list or phone mails list (What a pity because this is absolutly what I need)
Did someone succeed to make this ?
you can use TokenAutoComplete library for that. It is easy to implement and use.

I want to make EditText Card like View that have autocomplete feature , and auto completes are fetched using retrofit api , example can be shown below:
Can you suggest some easy to use gitHub library to implement this View in android or suggest the possibilities?
Note:
This question is entirely different from hello autocompletion because i am asking about custom api's and my view is very much different.

google has it's own chips but I don't know why they don't publish that for developers.
I am coding an Android application in Xamarin and have a question about a List.
I am currently coding many TextView objects on screen with contact details.
This is not displaying how I wish it to and I am wanting to know the correct programming object to use that is the same as the Settings list on many Android devices.
This list is the list that has:
Wi-Fi
BlueTooth
Data Usage
etc
Each of these items has an icon and the items can be clicked on.
Is this called a List, a ListView or something else? Also, if possible, may I have a link to some example code on how to use this object?
Thanks in advance
It is called custom listview, you get a lot of tutorials if you search that:

One year ago I developed a sync adapter for Android.
At that time it wasn't possible to show a custom activity or to customize the standard activity to edit a contact.
The result was that, although it was possible to configure the synch adapter in a such a way that the added contacts where editable, to edit a contact was not really feasible, unless the custom contacts were the same as the normal ones.
Is it still like that? Did google fix the problem?

I found this: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/85f9304dfcc4e284
but it does not say where to find the documentation
There is a workaround catching an intent to launch your own activity.
you need to modify a bit the following example but it works very well (on 2.3.x and 4.0.X) for me for insertion.

In my android application I want to create a custom type of IM that should be editable via standard contacts editing application. There are several built-it IMs that user can select from: Aim, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc. I want to add "My Very Best IM" to the list, so that user can pick it quickly without the need to enter the "custom" text and value by hand. Any ideas on how to do this?
You cannot add this functionality to the inbuilt contacts app.
In other words, you cannot tell that this app should show up in that list.
I am new to android and have been teaching myself how to create apps through the android developers website. My app itself is like a recipe book. It lets me add my favourite recipes to a database so therefore where ever I am I am able to see what ingredients and the method for creating my favourite dishes. The list is getting rather long now so I was wondering if there was a way to search through a list like you do for contacts in your phone book. This would make things a lot easier for me.
Thanks in advance
You can actually integrate the Android search box (the one that pops up when you hit the "search" hardware key) into your application, so it searches your data. There's a page on Using the Android Search Dialog in the Android Developer Guide.
Also for user convenience and habbits to use search button you can override onSearchRequested method and do anything you want, show additional layout etc...
