Instead of using this as the listener, create a new listener class and give it your autocomplete textview:

   private class MyClickListener implements OnClickListener {
       AutoCompleteTextView autoComplete;
       MyClickListener(AutoCompleteTextView actv) {
           autoComplete = actv;
       }
       // ... handle clicks
   }
}
