Not open list autotextcompleteview

I want open drop down list when my Activity started. I use this code:

 mAutoCompleteTextView.requestFocus();
 mAutoCompleteTextView.showDropDown();

mAutoCompleteTextView not null.

I catch this exception:

I catch this exception, becouse I try call showDropDown() in onCreate() method. In this method Activity not started and AutoCompleteTextView can't attach to Acivity. I use this code for open list with items in AutoCompletetextView:

mAutoCompleteTextView.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
            if (hasFocus) {
                mAutoCompleteTextView.showDropDown();
            }
        }
    });

mAutoCompletetextView get focus when actiity has been started.
