Q:

Using arraylist for setting adapter for autocomplete textview in android

In my android app, I have an arraylist  containing server data received from server. I need to use this arraylist in the arrayadapter for using it in an autocomplete textview for showing suggestions while the user types the characters. I have seen many tutorials using string array in the arrayadapter and setting it for auto complete textview. But haven't found any solution using arraylist. Please help me out..
EDIT: 
this is the code which I have used:
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_community, container, false);
    actv1=(AutoCompleteTextView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1);
    actv2=(AutoCompleteTextView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView2);
    loc=new ArrayList<String>();
    SplashScreen ss = new SplashScreen();
    loc=ss.loc;

    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,loc);

Adding loc is showing me an error in logcat as shown here: The constructor ArrayAdapter(CommunityFragment, int, ArrayList) is undefined

A:

From the ArrayAdapter documentation,
public ArrayAdapter (**Context context**, int resource, List<T> objects)

From your error, it looks like you're passing in a Fragment reference, which is not a context.
Try
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,loc);
