Populate string on background and setting up an AutoCompleteTextBox

Question

I'm trying to to the following things:

Retrieve all the option-values from an URL (working)
Pass them to a String[] in my app (working)
Set up an AutoCompleteTextBox with the values of this String Array (not working).

I leave here my piece of code:

protected Elements doInBackground(Void... arg0) {

    try {

        Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://pedidos.pizzeriabritannia.com/index.asp?Opc=Registro").get();
        Elements options = doc.select("select#calle option");
        return options;

    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }   
    return null;

}


protected void onPostExecute(Elements options){

    for (int i = 0; i < options.size(); i++){

        calles[i] = html2text(options.get(i).toString());
    }

    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(Registro.this,android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line,calles);
    acTextView.setThreshold(2);
    acTextView.setAdapter(adapter);
}

The AutoCompleteTextBox should work as follows, for example:

If I write MA, it would suggest me MADRID, MALAGA, MASSACHUSETTS...

but it does not show anything. I'm sure that the String has been populated.

Any suggestion??

Before OnCreate(). The string array gets the values it should take. The problem is when I try to set this string to the AutoCompleteTextBox — Aldridge1991, Jan 12 '14 at 14:51
@Aldridge1991 set the breakpoint at ArrayAdapter.ArrayFilter.performFiltering() method and see whats going on — pskink, Jan 12 '14 at 15:04
One more thing. If I set static values for the string it works. But it's not working if a do it dynamically — Aldridge1991, Jan 12 '14 at 16:09
@Aldridge1991 dud you try other adapters? see my answer how to use CursorAdapter: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19858843/how-to-dynamically-add-suggestions-to-autocompletetextview-with-preserving-chara — pskink, Jan 12 '14 at 16:38
