Adding values to array from the Multiautocomplete in android

How can i use MultiAutoCompleteTextView to get multiple entries from the user, So that each entries are added to individual Strings and every single Strings should be stored in string array.

Check below

You will need to use split() method since we are using CommaTokenizer() for our MultiAutoCompleteTextView

so your layout file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context="iifl.animesh.cuser.progressbarexample.MainActivity">

    <MultiAutoCompleteTextView
        android:id="@+id/multitoken"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/submit"
        android:layout_below="@+id/multitoken"
        android:text="Submit"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />


</RelativeLayout>

In your mainActivity

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener{

    private MultiAutoCompleteTextView multiAutoCompleteTextView;

    // your array for the autocomplete

    private static final String[] COUNTRIES = new String[] {
            "India","Belgium", "France", "Italy", "Germany", "Spain","USA","China"
    };

    private Button mbutton;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        multiAutoCompleteTextView = (MultiAutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.multitoken);
        mbutton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.submit);

        // setting listener for button
        mbutton.setOnClickListener(this);

        //setting adapter for multiAutoCompleteTextView
        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, COUNTRIES);
        multiAutoCompleteTextView.setAdapter(adapter);
        multiAutoCompleteTextView.setTokenizer(new MultiAutoCompleteTextView.CommaTokenizer());


    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        String text = multiAutoCompleteTextView.getText().toString();

        if(text != null && text.length() >0) {
            text = text.substring(0, text.length() - 1);
        String countries[] = text.split(",");  // countries array will have all the countries entered in multiAutoCompleteTextView

        for(String s : countries) {
            Toast.makeText(this,"Countries are = "+s,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
        }
        else {
           Toast.makeText(this,"Please enter text",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
       }

    }
}

I hope this will help
