    source: function(request, response) {
        var results = $.ui.autocomplete.filter(yourarray, request.term);
        response(results.slice(0, 15));
    }
});

The signing key is a small file which identifies the creator. It will get built into the .apk file so the developer who built the app can be identified. Since the information in the signing key is all supplied by the developer, it really doesn't provide any security. It will make sure that updates to an app are generated by the same user.

1. Install the Java Development Kit
2. Open a CMD or Terminal session

On Windows, open a cmd window and change directory to

cd c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin

3. Use KeyTool to create the keystore file

Enter this command, replacing 'KitchenSink' with the name of your app.

keytool -genkey -v -keystore myApp.keystore -alias myApp -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

The file KitchenSink.keystore has now been created in c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin. If you would like it created elsewhere, replace KitchenSink.keystore with the complete path. i.e.
