How to show menu options at the end of EditText

Question

I need to EditText with arrow at the end and when you tap on edittext it will pop up with the options. Since i am unable to upload image, i have to describe it.

Same type of edit text is available in default Contacts Application comes in ICS. When you add new contact, it will have edit text with options.

Thanks Chintan

What type of options? There is such a thing as an `AutoCompleteTextView`, if that's what you're looking for. — Tyler MacDonell, Mar 05 '13 at 18:48
in autoCompleteTextView, user has to type. in EditText with options, user can select it so no need to type — Chintan, Mar 05 '13 at 19:08

You could achieve this behavior if you just combine a TextView along side with an ImageView of your arrow that onClick will pop up a window with your options.

Is it when you have options for "Home, Mobile, Work", etc? That is the design of a Spinner in the post-Honeycomb world. On GB & below, it would give you a pop up dialog with the options instead.
