  <p><strong>Question:</strong></p>
  
  <blockquote>

    the soft-keyboard but i don't have any clue how to achieve this. My
    suggestion list is always hidden behind the soft-keyboard.</p>
    
    <p>How to show auto-suggestion list above the soft-keyboard like Gmail
    app?</p>

  <p>I had tried playing with different <code>android:imeOptions</code> and different xml attributes and did a lot of searching but nothing helped.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any public Api or XML attribute is available to do so?
  Does anyone have any clue or idea about how to achieve this.</p>
  
  <p>Code Structure : My fragment opens an <code>AlertDialog</code> which contains <code>MultiAutoCompleteTextView</code> where i'm implementing auto-suggest.</p>
  
  <p>Any help or suggestion which leads to the right direction, would be greatly appreciated. </p>
