Answer 1

Here Code is working for me,

Set This adapter to autocompletetextview

AutoCompleteTextView etProductSearch = (AutoCompleteTextView)getView().findViewById(R.id.edtSearchBoxTakeOrder);
ProductSearchAdapter adapter = new ProductSearchAdapter(getActivity(), android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, productList);
etProductSearch.setAdapter(adapter );

ProductSearchAdapter class

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Filter;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class ProductSearchAdapter extends ArrayAdapter {
    private ArrayList items;
    private ArrayList itemsAll;
    private ArrayList suggestions;
    private int viewResourceId;

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public ProductSearchAdapter(Context context, int viewResourceId,
            ArrayList items) {
        super(context, viewResourceId, items);
        this.items = items;
        this.itemsAll = (ArrayList) items.clone();
        this.suggestions = new ArrayList();
        this.viewResourceId = viewResourceId;
    }

    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View v = convertView;
        if (v == null) {
            LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(
                    Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            v = vi.inflate(viewResourceId, null);
        }
        ProductDataModel product = items.get(position);
        if (product != null) {
              TextView productLabel = (TextView)  v.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
            if (productLabel != null) {
                productLabel.setText(product.getProductName());
            }
        }
        return v;
    }

    @Override
    public Filter getFilter() {
        return nameFilter;
    }

    Filter nameFilter = new Filter() {
        public String convertResultToString(Object resultValue) {
            String str = ((ProductDataModel) (resultValue)).getProductName();
            return str;
        }

        @Override
        protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
            if (constraint != null) {
                suggestions.clear();
                for (ProductDataModel product : itemsAll) {
                    if (product.getProductName().toLowerCase()
                            .startsWith(constraint.toString().toLowerCase())) {
                        suggestions.add(product);
                    }
                }
                FilterResults filterResults = new FilterResults();
                filterResults.values = suggestions;
                filterResults.count = suggestions.size();
                return filterResults;
            } else {
                return new FilterResults();
            }
        }

        @Override
        protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint,
                FilterResults results) {
            @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
            ArrayList filteredList = (ArrayList) results.values;
            if (results != null && results.count > 0) {
                clear();
                for (ProductDataModel c : filteredList) {
                    add(c);
                }
                notifyDataSetChanged();
            }
        }
    };

}
