How to implement EditText with providing suggestion same like a Google search provides in Android...
I am trying to implement an EditText which takes a url from user and loads the desired url in the webview. I have accomplished this task. Now I want to provide corresponding suggestions of urls on typing a word in the EditText same like as Google provides. I have a sample application from google play store which has implemented this scenario.
URL to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=video.downloader.videodownloader&hl=en
I have searched every where to find a clue to start my work. But I couldn't find anything supportive.
Screen Shots for figuring out the Scenario:

I am not using any database to fetch data from and to show in suggestion. I want to use EditText like an address bar of Google browser. When a user tap and type any word, it gives suggested urls respectively as showing in the screen shots.

I would use a search interface (documentation here: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/) with a Content Provider. You should fill the content provider by using custom search JSON API https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview. It's a quite complicated task but I think you should start with this stack
