Answer 1

You can either adjust the layout so that there is more space below the AutoCompleteTextView

or

you can change the dropdown height android:dropDownHeight and set some high value, this would work when its inside a scrollView and the AutoCompleteTextView is near the top.

To display the list of options on focus do something like this

autoCompleteTextView.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
        if(hasFocus) {
            autoCompleteTextView.showDropDown();
        }
    }
});

This would display a list of options when the user focuses on the AutoCompleteTextView
