AutoCompleteTextView display items that have an accent when typed without an accent

I have a AutoCompleteTextView , defined as your adapter I have a list that gets the name of cities like, for example, São Paulo, but if I enter it in the field the value Sao Paulo, without the accent, it does not display any item , that's why AutoCompleteTextView probably does not identify the a == ã character.

How can I make the value with an accent display when the value without an accent is entered?

Code that I created separately for testing:

ArrayList<String>cidades = new ArrayList<>();

   cidades.add("São Paulo");
   cidades.add("São Luiz");

autoComplete = (AppCompatAutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.autoComplete);

ArrayAdapter<String> lista = new ArrayAdapter<>(this,android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line,cidades);

autoComplete.setAdapter(lista);

Q.: I can add the items without an accent in the list easily.
