AutoCompleteTextView adapter not set

I have a class that fetches all the suggestions based on the text entered from the server. In the postExecute(), I am adding all the suggestions to my ArrayList and I want to set that arraylist as adapter. But it is not working.

The onCreate() code:

     t1 = (AutoCompleteTextView) 
            findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1);



    t1.setThreshold(1);
    t1.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

           //DoPost() is the class fetching data from server
            new DoPOST().execute("");

        }

        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                int after) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
    });

    ArrayAdapter<String> adp=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
            android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line,Names);
    t1.setAdapter(adp);

When I change the text, I can see the server response returning the data. And in postExecute():

for(int i=0 ;i<js.length();i++){
            try {
                JSONObject tokenobj=js.getJSONObject(i);
                Names.add(tokenobj.get("suggestion").toString());
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
          }

So the suggestions are coming in the arraylist but it is not showing as the dropdown instantly.. Please help, Thanx in advance.

When the data (the ArrayList in this case) changes, you need to call .notifyDataSetChanged() on the adapter instance in order for the view to redraw.
