I'm using ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI to get the contacts of the mobile. And I want to use those contacts in AutoCompleteTextView.

To use autocomplete, first I need to store the content to be displayed with this option in an array of string and then I need to use it in arrayadapter.I'm not getting how to store those read contacts in arrayadapter.

AutoCompleteTextView is used exactly the same way as an EditText in your layouts (as it’s a subclass of EditText). You just need to replace your EditText by an AutoCompleteTextView and this part is done.To better understand check this useful link.

https://developer.xamarin.com/recipes/android/controls/autocomplete_text_view/add_an_autocomplete_text_input/

I hope it will help you.

Thanks

Generic OS abstraction layer (on top of IOS/Android etc.) for mobile Apps?

Similar to HAL for enabling s/w apps development on variety of h/w platforms, can a generic OS abstraction Layer ( OAL) be developed such that the apps written on top be immediately supported on all underlying platform?

IOAL can expore two interfaces. The southbound will expose open APIs towards the underlying OS ( Android/IOS/WIndows/Blackberry) which can then invoke the native APIs on OS. More than APIs the other mechanism of dealing with underlying OS will be embedded in this interface.

The northbound interface will be the standard APIs towards the APPs. This will be uniform across platforms. The OAL will also manage abstracted resources inside as it may be required to manage the underlying OS.

There will be no h/w intelligence/awareness inside this layer. This may puncture the individual power of popular platforms which draw strength from number of apps on it.
