how to use with remote data?

Can someone guide me how can I use auto complete with remote data?

You'll need to build you own Adapter similar to this one:
https://github.com/jnsone11/android-play-places/blob/master/PlaceComplete/Application/src/main/java/com/example/google/playservices/placecomplete/PlaceAutocompleteAdapter.java

tldr:
Instead of attaching an ArrayAdapter you'll create you own Adapter, pass your searchTerm to it (performFiltering), fetch remote data and pass it back to your AutoCompleteTextView.

I suggest to implement a Handler that posts to the adapter with a delay of 450ms and is capable of obtaining all previously sent messages. This will prevent multiple filterings when the user is typing.

Looks somewhat like this:

private static final int MESSAGE_TEXT_CHANGED = 1337;
private static final int DEFAULT_AUTOCOMPLETE_DELAY = 750;

private int mAutoCompleteDelay = DEFAULT_AUTOCOMPLETE_DELAY;

private final Handler mHandler = new Handler() {
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {

        PlacesAutocompleteTextview.super.performFiltering((CharSequence) msg.obj, msg.arg1);
    }
};

@Override
protected void performFiltering(CharSequence text, int keyCode) {
            mHandler.removeMessages(MESSAGE_TEXT_CHANGED);
            mHandler.sendMessageDelayed(mHandler.obtainMessage(MESSAGE_TEXT_CHANGED, 
}

Can you please share the full source code for this implement class ?
