title: HoloEverywhere AutoCompleteTextView java.lang.ClassCastException
body: <p>I am trying to get the HoloEverywhere class AutoCompleteTextView to work with my app. The main reason for this is I want the Holo theme to work on pre 3.0 devices (specifically API levels 8-10) Here is my main activity code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.example.testautocomp;
  
  import org.holoeverywhere.widget.AutoCompleteTextView;
  
  import android.app.Activity;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
  
  public class MainActivity extends Activity {
  
      private AutoCompleteTextView m_edit;
  
      private static final String[] items = { "lorem", "ipsum", "dolor", "sit",
          "amet", "consectetuer", "adipiscing", "elit", "morbi", "vel",
          "augue", "purus", "sitter", "sitting", "sither", "sithar" };
  
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  
      m_edit = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.edit2);
  
      m_edit.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt;(this,
              android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, items));
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>also my activity_main.xml code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout 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:orientation="vertical" &gt;
  
  &lt;AutoCompleteTextView
      android:id="@+id/edit2"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:completionThreshold="1"
      android:hint="Testing" /&gt;
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I run my app, it goes into the debugger for eclipse and after pressing resume (or F8) to continue the thread, my app crashes/force closes and I get the following error in my LogCat:</p>
