you can try something like this:

   protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
         super.onCreate(icicle);
         setContentView(R.layout.yourLayout);

         ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                 android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, PHRASES);
         AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView)
                 findViewById(R.id.yourTextView);
         textView.setAdapter(adapter);
     }

     private static final String[] PHRASES = new String[] {
         "Belgium", "France", "Italy", "Germany", "Spain"
     };

Also you should take a look of the android developer site: AutoCompleteTextView
