Is it possible to use autocomplete on android or is it better to store the data on the device?

Question

Android

On the php server, we implemented autocomplete for the web, using web services. It is suggested to use it for android as well, but I think that this will heavily load the network. There is not so much data (directories), you can pull everything out to the device in order to minimize the load on the network. What is the best way to handle this situation, use autocomplete and load the network, or store data on the device?

Answer 1

I would autocomplete from the server and the local cache.
