Or, you could first categorize the items and present them
hierarchically with a ListView like this

so that users can expand and collapse the hierarchy to select entries
intuitively.
Good lucks!

Here's an excellent ListView example with code for paging through
large #'s of items. It's very similar to the music list in iTunes on
the iPhone.

You should use XMLrpc to only retrieve a small number of cities, based on
the characters that the user has already typed, like what "Google suggests"
