So I have a SimpleAdapter set up and I want to add an editText above it that you can enter your search query into and have the list update in real-time.

I know I can already setTextFilterEnabled(true) and force a keyboard popup. I was going to simply do that when you press an editText and just be done with it.

The problem I’m having is that the box that pops up with the letters when you search is really ugly and too big. It takes up literally 1/4 of the screen, covering your search results. Is there a way to customize this? Is there a way to use an editText for a simpleAdapter in this case so I can remove that box altogether?
