Menu
I am not sure I am using the right words for this UI feature, but I have attached a snapshot of what I am looking to achieve in my app.
Its used by Go SMS, where a user types contacts in an edit text, after the user selects a contact from the completion drop down, the contact is inserted in the edit text as show in the attached image.The edit text is still open to accept further input.
For my app, I would like to do the grouping and insertion as soon as the user enters a comma, Just like the Tag input for StackOverflow works (But I believe I can handle that alone.) My problem is what kind of View is this or how do I modify an EditText to behave like this?
Thanks.

Chips are compact elements that represent an attribute, text, entity, or action. They allow users to enter information, select a choice, filter content, or trigger an action.
Just call your adapter. getItem(position) and you will get the output you want. For example skillLevelAdapter. getItem(position).
An editable text view that shows completion suggestions automatically while the user is typing. The list of suggestions is displayed in a drop down menu from which the user can choose an item to replace the content of the edit box with.
The official Chips library from Google (as used in Gmail, Email, Calendar, Messaging) is located at https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/opt/chips/
A simple example of how to use it can be found at https://code.google.com/p/platform-features-talk-io-2013/source/browse/src/com/example/iotalk/ChipsActivity.java

Two more Chips libraries.
Android Chips. Unlike some other this one is updated to have visuals reflecting the newly released "Material Design" standard.
Token Auto Complete. It is an Android Gmail style token auto-complete text field and filter.
