Currently, suggestions are given to the user in a box with radio buttons after the user has clicked on the confirm button.
However, it will be better if the app can dynamically give suggestions to the user as she types. For instance, the user may type "ham" on the keyboard. Although there indeed are suggestions on top of the keyboard provided by android, it's totally unrelated to our app. That means, it will give suggestion of the word "hamburger", but that suggestion does not give any intelligent guesses based on our database entries(GPS location and entry frequencies). So we should try to implement this feature where the app will give intelligent guesses of what the user wants to search dynamically based on what is currently in the input box. As the first step, we will just implement the auto-complete feature similar to this implemented by google giving just food names without incorporating any intelligent elements.
