Using by default adapter and filter, autocompletetextview can do only single line string in dropdown view as default adapter and default filter adapter.getFilter().filter(s.toString()); which can do filtering with condition of inputString.contains(stringOfList) one-bye-one and get and display that list in dropdown at autocompletextview.

There for you have to make simple custom adapter and inside that custom filter class for filtering as per your requirement.
