How to show complete list item in Autocomplete Textbox?

In my application I have to show all list item on clicking Textbox.

I have tried AutoCompleteTextView without entering text but its not working.

Is there any other widget in Android to achieve this situation?

Please suggest me.

Thanks,

Okay for AutoCompleteTextView, try this way :

In XML Layout:

    <AutoCompleteTextView
      android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextView1"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
      android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
      android:layout_marginTop="65dp"
      android:ems="10" >
In MainActivity,

    private AutoCompleteTextView actv;
    actv = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1); 

The next thing you need to do is to specify the list of suggestion items to be displayed. You can specify the list items as a string array in java or in strings.xml. 

    String[] xyzvalues= getResources().
       getStringArray(R.array.list_of_xyzvalues);
       ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter
       (this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,xyzvalues);
       actv.setAdapter(adapter); 


Hope this helps.
