#Usage

Add DOAutocompleteTextField to your project, create an instance of it

as you would create a UITextField and set the delegate.

    DOAutocompleteTextField *textField = [[DOAutocompleteTextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,100,31)];

    textField.delegate = self;

In your DOAutocompleteTextFieldDelegate provide the completions according to you own logic

or similar to the demo.

	

	- (NSString *)textField:(DOAutocompleteTextField *)textField completionForPrefix:(NSString *)prefix

	{

    	// This is a simple example of how to provide DOAutocomleteTextField with completions

	    NSArray *autocompleteArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:

	                                  @"thesaurus",

	                                  @"the weather channel",

	                                  @"DoAT",

	                                  @"Doctor Who",

	                                  @"Dachshunds are the best",

	                                  @"ccccombo breaker",

	                                  @"money",

	                                  @"Mona lisa",

	                                  @"Monalisa",

	                                  @"mcdonalds",

	                                  @"mc hammer", 

	                                  @"long cat is looooooooooooooooooog",

	                                  nil];

	    

	    for (NSString *string in autocompleteArray) 

	    {

	        if([string hasPrefix:prefix])

	        {

	            return [string stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:[prefix rangeOfString:prefix] withString:@""];

	        }

	        

	    }

	    

	    return @"";

	}

DOAutocompleteTextField draws the completion text immediatlly after user input.

#Known Issues

* Completion position is still a bit off.

* No way of detecting taps on autocomplete label.
