Soft Keyboard and suggested completion word

[TomA]

When typing on the soft keyboard, Android shows suggested completion words that can save a lot of typing time if the word you need shows there. Does anyone know if there is a way to customize the suggested words that show? I am planning an app that will use a relatively limited vocabulary and it would be nice if I could ensure that the suggested words are only those from that limited vocabulary so the user could enter things faster/easier.

You can use SearchView class or AutoCompleteEditText.

I believe both of these result in drop down/popup lists of possible items and that would interfere with the use of the program so I was hoping to find a way to display the suggestions as they normally show with the keyboard so none of the rest of the screen is obscured.

You can add words to the user dictionary. However this will affect the suggestions in all applications.
