Diacritics/international characters in AutoCompleteTextView

Question

I have a (array) list

Car
Something
Šibica
Čavao
Cavao

Is there a way to \"force\" AutoCompleteTextView so if user type in letter \"c\"

Answer 1

If you need to roll your own solution, you should consider using accent-folding, a technique for transforming Unicode accented strings into ASCII text. You could generate ASCII versions of all the strings in your array and match the user's partial query against that array, instead.
