Lets say there are many users and for each one I want to change the pacv_historyFile .
I see the xml property the, pacv_historyFile but how to change that programmatically?

@erikswed you should be able to supply your own history manager implementation via this method on the autocompleteview:

If you just want to change the path used for each user (probably easiest strategy for this, you can use the default implementation with a different file name:

very good I looked at this but it was not clear at first:
mAutocomplete.setHistoryManager(DefaultAutocompleteHistoryManager.fromPath(getActivity(),"file_name"));

Can this be changed on the fly or do I have to instantiate a new PlacesAutocompleteTextView for the "file_name" to be used?
