An editable text view based on AutoCompleteTextView that reads the names of the user's email (and Gmail) accounts and provides them as suggestions.
Useful for login/register fields.
Works on API 5 (2.0, Eclair) and up.
Firstly, make sure your app uses the GET_ACCOUNTS permission in its manifest.
Use com.stevenschoen.accountsuggesttextview.AccountSuggestTextView whereever you would use an EditText that's meant for email address entry.
This can be in an xml layout:
<com.stevenschoen.accountsuggesttextview.AccountSuggestTextView
android:id="@+id/text_email"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />Or you can inflate it like any other view.
By default, the user's email addresses won't appear until a few characters are typed into the text field (following AutoCompleteTextView's behavior). Use setShowDropDownWithNoText(true) to change this.
