android autocompletetextview hint results hidden under keyboard

Question

I have 3 autocompletetextview\'s in which i set its adapter to be an ArrayAdapter with a very simple textview layout.

Answer 1

you should look here : Creating an input method

Composing text before committing

If your IME does text prediction or requires multiple steps to compose a glyph or word, you can show the progress in the text field until the user commits the word, and then you can replace the partial composition with the completed text. You may give special treatment to the text by adding a "span" to it when you pass it to InputConnection#setComposingText().

this way, suggestions will apears on soft keyboard prediction like auto-correction. An other way of doing it will be a fullScreen IME... with ExctractEditText : See this link...

This is what i usualy have seen in other apps... i don't think the autocompletetextview can be inverted and appears on top of the view, but what's strange is that it usually shows on top of the keyboard not bellow...
