title: Creating a text filter (like quick search) for a Spinner in Android
body: <p>I'm developing an Android application. I have my activity here with some widgets including a Spinner. I want that Spinner object to be searchable using the quick search button. The idea is that the user tapped the Spinner object and he sees the list (the adapter). If he taps the quick search button he should be provided with a text field to enter a letter and then the spinner list jumps to the fist word it finds with the letter supplied. Just as it works with html and select tags.</p>
  
  <p>I tried google (and SO of course) but it seems that </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>no one is interested in a solution like this <em>or</em></li>
  <li>it is a closely guarded secret. :)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Do you have some pointers in this topic?</p>
