android how an EditText work as AutoComplete

Question

I want my EditText should work as AutoComplete, for that I write in XML file

android:inputType="textAutoComplete|textAutoCorrect"

but it's not working.

I am working with API v2.2 and my Activity extends MapActivity, there I put a simple EditText and a button named "Search". so if we type the location name in EditText and press search button means it should go to that location in map. So I want that EditText to work as a AutoComplete. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Just use an AutoCompleteTextView instead of normal EditText.
