my problem is creating EditText for phone numbers on Android.
I want to create EditText and when user entering phone number or letters, suggestions open drop-down list, like this:
How can I do this?
You need to use AutoCompleteTextView in your layout and then have a look at
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AutoCompleteTextView.html
and then
http://developer.android.com/training/contacts-provider/retrieve-names.html
In Graphic Layout, rightclick on edittext, in InputType menu, select any number type - number, phonetic
When you will run the app, the on screen keyboard will show only numbers
Its possible to supply phone numbers or contact names as adapter to auto complete text view.
The below link provides you a tutorial to achieve this requirement.

Is there a way to set the format of AutoCompleteTextview like cellphone number with dashes?
I have an AutoCompleteTextview with custom adapter that suggests account numbers from sqlite table and it shows like this.
but when i click the suggested account number I want it to look like phone number format and make it like 110-0011. Is that possible for AutoCompleteTextview?
I want to show suggestions not only as starting character but also a containing character... means 's' suggestions should be like tags,pas,also, and so on.

You can use Android AutoCompleteTextView.
It provides suggestions automatically when the user is typing. The list of suggestions is displayed in a drop down menu from which the user can choose an item to replace the content of the edit box with.

I want to implement contacts search like we have in the build in SMS messages app, when you have a text box to enter the contact name and for each letter you insert , a scrollable list of contacts which thier name starts with the input text is displayed on screen, right under the text box. If you delete all input or can't find sutable contact then the list disappear.
When the user selects one of the list items then its full name is written in the text box.
What controls should I use to implement this behaviour? Would EditText and a regular ListView will do?
I couldn't find examples...
Please help, thanks
You can use addTextChangeListener in your EditText and search value from your listview.

I have successfully created a custom key pad in my application but i am unable to find out how to display a dictionary of words like android default keypad which appear at the top whenever we type.
1st you need to take an AutoComplete TextView
Afterwards , you need to follow this example:
Creating a Search Interface
In this example the ListView's Data-Source is being changed when the text is entered in Search Bar.You need to change the Data-Source of AutoComplete TextView as the user enters different texts.
I hope this will solve your problem.
