android - What is the best way to allow a user to select one value from a list of potentially hundreds?



I'm trying to write an Android app that requires users to select a value from a list of potentially hundreds. They're likely to know the item they're selecting to asking them to filter by typing seems like a sensible approach.


I've searched high and low but I can't find a standard way of doing this.


A spinner is no good and it takes too long to go through the list of values


An autocomplete box is no good as I need users to be contrained to only selecting items from my list.
