Can anyone help me with how to make an editable dropdown in android?

If editable you should use AutoCompleteTextView.

I have the same problem too. I finally tried 2 means:

1. Use AutoCompleTextView, it is pretty good.

2. Use ListPopupWindow with a EditText. I finally used this and I wrote an article about it: http://maogm.com/blog/edittext-with-popuplist-en.html

The accepted answer helped me except I wanted the drop down to show immediately before the user starts typing (really an editable spinner) and didn't care much about auto completetion, so I let it have the immediate drop down effect by adding:

autoCompleteTextView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                autoCompleteTextView.showDropDown();
            }
        })

In case this helps someone.
