Android EditText doesn't show keyboard hint if use more than one inputType attribute

Question

I'm trying to have an Edit text with keyboard hints and auotcorrection for words (such as when you write a message in whatsapp).

This is my code:

        <EditText
        android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dip"
        android:layout_margin="20dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="@color/white"
        android:ems="10"
        android:inputType="textCapSentences|textMultiLine|textAutoCorrect|textAutoComplete"
        android:scrollHorizontally="false"
        android:hint="@string/note_content"
        android:textColor="@color/black_text" />

According with the documentation it should work but it doesn't. I've also tried using the deprecated android:autoText="true" .

I need all the functionallity specified in the InputType

Edit:

After some try I discovered that if I set only one attribute without problem but if I set all of what I need nothing work correctly.

Edit 2:

What I want to obtain is something like the Whatsapp editbox where you write your message.

Answer 1

Maybe it has to do with the input type, have you tried single combinations?

Using a combination of textAutoCorrect and textAutoComplete might not always work
