Hi XDA,
I'm writing my first Android app, an open source webtext client for Irish mobile networks. The current version of the project can be found here: https://code.google.com/p/webtextr
There's one thing I'm having trouble with though. I'd like to implement a ‘recipient’ text box, where the user can start typing the name of a contact, and after each letter is pressed, it searches their contacts database and provides a drop-down list of suggestions. Then the user could click on a name and it would insert their number into the text box. This would be just like the way it works in the stock SMS app when you go to compose a new message.
Does anyone know how to implement this? I've been looking through the source code of the stock SMS app here https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Mms/tree/froyo/src/com/android/mms/ui. But... it's *very* complicated and not especially well commented.
Any help would be massively appreciated. Once this is added, the app will be fully functional and perfectly usable.
Bump? Anyone?
I've figured that I should use an AutoCompleteTextView. But any examples I've found online have been broken in some way, and seem to use the deprecated People class.
Is this really as hard as it seems? I'm suprised Android doesn't provide an easy way of doing this...
Is there any text expansion application and is it possible to make one? Developers? I need it so much.

do you mean make texts that are over 160 characters into one text instead of splitting it up?
I think handcent SMS does that now

I mean like this.
You write short keyword and the app expands it where you are typing.
For example if I am writing a mail and i write:
personalSignature and it expands to my full personal signature: Best wishes, Dimitar... at company.... and so on

Smart Keyboard Pro has that function. There may be other keyboards with the function too, but Smart Keyboard I know for sure. Its known as "Custom Autotext"
Yeah I know some keyboards have that, but i look for separate application, i like my current keyboard. Though i think it might not be possible to build an app like this because of the way that android separates different apps by not allowing them to interact.
I was looking for something similar when I started using Android (but that was over a year ago). Only solution I found was custom autotext. I'm using SmartKeyboardPro.

Since this question was asked more than a year ago, I am bumping the thread and hoping for an answer.
For example, if you write "!hhh" it automatically changes to "hey how are you?"
On the iphone, the cydia app Xpandr used to do this
I know this topic has been previously mentioned slightly, but not exactly. I was wondering if their was an application or a way to give on application one timezone, and the rest of your phone another timezone. All the threads i read that touched this topic didn't have a direct answer. So, can i use adb or a third-party application to change my timezone for only a single (a group of apps works too) application?
