The Auto Correct ability of Android makes it tough to enter text for some words.
As an example in the USA, 'PBS' is the public broadcasting network. When you enter 'PBS" in a normal text box, the android logic insists on changing it to bps. This is just one of many I have encountered as my apps all allow a fair amount of text entry.
The only way around is to keep typing and then at the end jump into the sentence and backspace it out and correct it. This can be very frustrating for users.

1. You can disable the suggestions.
2. Use SearchView instead of AutoCompleteEditText.
I have enabled the IME library as some posts suggest and it does include the AutoCompleteEditText but not SearchView. I am not sure that is what I want anyway.
I would like to test the 'disable the suggestions', but I don't see any way to do that.
Thanks, Cliff and thanks for a great product.
