Selection list cut off in AutoCompleteTextView in Dialog

Question

I have a dialog window that covers 1/3 of the entire screen height and is displayed on top of my activity. The dialog holds two AutoCompleteTextView fields.

The problem

Answer 1

I have successfully achieved this, but it isn't pretty.

I ended up overriding my SimpleCursorAdapter.newView() method, walking up the ViewParent hierarchy until I reached the root View, and then modifying its WindowManager.LayoutParams by ORing in the FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS flag.

This needs to be redone every time the drop down is displayed.
