Does this answer your question? [Android: Restrict user from selecting other than autocompletion suggestions?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13394054/android-restrict-user-from-selecting-other-than-autocompletion-suggestions) – Thelouras Mar 20 '21 at 12:20

Alternative: What about using a spinner? That's the main function of that element. – javdromero Mar 20 '21 at 13:57

@javdromero Unfortunately Material Components for Android seems to have forgotten about spinners and wants you to use non-editable [exposed dropdown menus](https://material.io/components/menus/android#exposed-dropdown-menus) instead. – stevesw Jun 12 '22 at 22:15
