Enable auto-suggestion and it's layout in EditText

I'm using Custom ListView with Edittext.
My problem is, while i'm typing in EditText , the Keypad does not show the Suggestion layout which is in Top of the Keypad.
my EditText code as,
<EditText
android:id="#+id/remarks_eT"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:background="#drawable/remarks_bg"
android:gravity="left"
android:maxLength="450"
android:inputType="text|textMultiLine"
android:textCursorDrawable="#null"
android:textColor="#color/app_primary_color"
android:textColorHint="#color/app_primary_color"
android:hint="Type your Remarks"/>
How can i resolve this annoying issue.?

You can enable auto suggestion for edit text by adding this line
emailET.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
in java file and adding
android:autoText="true"
in xml although autoText is depreciated now, you can have nice suggestion on it by android studio :)

Why edit text is underlined?

EditText is disabled, but still it is underlined. Why, how can I remove underline? What exactly underline means? In iOS same component is UITextView but it never underline so the control.
<EditText
android:layout_width="305dp"
android:layout_height="79dp"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:ems="10"
android:layout_below="#+id/view"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
android:id="#+id/editText5"
android:text="Do you know y.."
android:enabled="false" />

EditText is disabled
Use a TextView instead.
how can I remove underline?
Use a TextView instead.
Or, use a different background for the EditText, probably. I assume that the Theme.Material/Theme.AppCompat way of supplying that bracket is via the background, as it was with Theme and Theme.Holo. I have not changed the background of an EditText in years, as usually it is not needed.
What exactly underline means?
It tells humans that this represents text that they can edit, as opposed to text that they cannot edit.

Android EditText.setError not working in not focusable

How can I display a text error with setError in an EditText not focusable? It's important that users don't modify this EditText, it'll be modified for the application. Maybe I have another option different than focusable=false?
Now, I have it:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/date"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true"
android:ems="10"
android:focusable="false"
android:inputType="text"
android:onClick="onClick" />
Thanks a lot!

Finally I think it's not possible to do... Because the first necessity is to block the text, doing it with focusable=false or with a TextView, and it also blocks the functionality setError.
An editText with focusable = false I can get a right drawable (the default red exclamation mark) but without text. For this reason I finally added the text with a Toast.
It's not completelly that I wanted, but it's the most similar.
Thanks for your help!

Just use TextView and if you have an error somewhere then show image with drawableRight.
Here's the example of doingit programmatically: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7380789/3864698

Android: How to implement numeric keypad?

I have an edit text with a background image. When i click on the edit text i should enter numericals.
So, I should dispaly a numeric keypad. I did this by android: inputtype = "Phone" method. But iam not getting numeric keypad. Please help me>?

for this You need to set the EditText's Input type property to number .
android:inputType="number"

you have two solutions for that
the 1st one is to do it in the layout like that android:inputType=""... see below lastline:
<EditText android:id="#+id/getLat"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:cursorVisible="true"
android:editable="true"
android:singleLine="true"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:inputType="numberDecimal"
/>

use this..
editview.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
Best

How to remove the underline from the EditText field in Android?

Whenever a word is typed in the EditText box, I always see an underline under the word being typed. But when I press a space after that word I no longer see the underline.
My reqirement is to remove that underline when the user is typing the message.
Added is the screenshot and we see that Smith is underlined. But I don't want this to happen.
Below is the xml that I use for the AlertDialog box.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/name_view"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dip"
android:layout_marginRight="20dip"
android:text="#string/alert_dialog_name"
android:gravity="left"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/username_edit"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dip"
android:layout_marginRight="20dip"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:autoText="false"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:capitalize="none"
android:gravity="fill_horizontal"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</LinearLayout>

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"

There is a function that removes any composing state. I think if you call it after every time a user types, you will not see the underline. I use it after the user finishes typing, to get the drawing cache of the entire textView (which I need without underline). It's
someTextView.clearComposingText();

You don't have to use any logic to remove the underlines -- just call getText().toString() when you want to use the value. It won't include special formatting or anything.

accepted answer is not given solution, and some other user given answer but no one given full anser, so that's why i write here working solution.
If you want to remove underline then just add below code.
XML
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
Java
EditText ed;
ed = findViewById(yourId);
ed.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
If you want to set more than one input type then,
ed.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
May be above information is helpful to others.

The best solution for this is to add on your EditText:
android:inputType="textMultiLine|textVisiblePassword"

Use this from your class, if EditText view is dynamic (created from class file):
EditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
OR include android:inputType="textNoSuggestions" with your EditText in XML.

Read this if you want to keep emojis and textNoSuggestions doesn't work for you.
textNoSuggestions does not work in every keyboard.
inputType="textVisiblePassword" works but it removes emoji's from most keyboards.
I found that setting inputType="textUri" works and keeps the ability to add emojis.

try:
android:inputType= InputTypes.TextVariationVisiblePassword;

<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#null"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
android:maxLines="1"
/>
