How to custom AutoCompleteTextView dropdown position
My app has an AutoCompleteTextView and I want the drop down list (Autocomplete suggestions) to be placed next to the letter I recently typed in.
Now it appears above the whole of AutoCompleteTextView.
I found most of people set AutoCompleteTextView's height as wrap_content but I want to use it as match_parent, so users can access to the TextView easier (because it means there is larger space to touch to get to edit the text).
And I believe that is the reason why I am struggling.
Is there any way I can keep the height as match_parent so AutoCompleteTextView will keep the long height, and the drop down list will be following the text users are typing in?
Thanks in advance.

use android:dropDownAnchor="@id/drop_down_anchor" for AutoCompleteTextView in XML
drop_down_anchor is id of a view that you want to show your drop down based of it's position.
