Look at the space bar. See that it says SwiftKey? That's the name of the keyboard your phone has installed, and active. So look for SwiftKey settings, would be my recommendation.

Thank you Sandman.

No setting to remove the bar.

My question was if there was any way to control that in code, though.

You can change the keyboardsize. Using a smaller one do also hide a bar.
You also can put off autosuggestion.

Best case: perhaps. But more likely: not at all. And for sure you can't assume it would be standardized between different keyboards, and you most likely can't assume that all your users have SwiftKey keyboard installed and active.

While it's great that we can change the keyboard, Google haven't really enforced strict rules for that kind of software. You can get a small insight into the problem by reading my post about disabling keyboard suggestions: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/how-to-disable-keyboard-suggestions.88224/

Check B4XPreferenceDialog. It will help you build a form with multiple input fields.

Thank you DonManfred.

But, how do you control keyboardSize ? IME does not seem able to.

You cannot change the keyboard size programmatically. Only the user can do it if the keyboard app supports such feature.
