'How to set text on AutoCompleteTextView

I am having trouble setting a default value on my AutoCompleteTextView. First, I tried doing setText("default value"). Then, I searched and tried this:

autoText.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        autoText.showDropDown();
    }
},500);
autoText.setText("chi");
autoText.setSelection(tvNewRestoAddress.getText().length());

but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

 String[] fruits = {"Apple", "Banana", "Cherry", "Date", "Grape", "Kiwi", "Mango", "Pear"};
     ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>
                    (this, android.R.layout.select_dialog_item, fruits);
     AutoCompleteTextView actv = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView);
            actv.setThreshold(1);//will start working from first character
            actv.setAdapter(adapter);//setting the adapter data into the AutoCompleteTextView

Trying to add property on XML like -

<AutoCompleteTextView
    ...

    android:text="Here your text" />

or in java

autocompletetextview.setText("Here your text");
