Hi Team,
While developing Xamarin.Android application I was able to find a bug that restricts the predictive text functionality on EditText API([https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/user-interface/controls/edit-text) in the Samsung keyboard and auto-correct in the Swift keyboard, the suggestions are working fine on Gboard.

for my use, I need to use the following input types

EditText.InputType= Android.Text.InputTypes.TextFlagMultiLine | Android.Text.InputTypes.TextVariationFilter;

I have also tried the following codes to show the suggestions, but it didn't work for me.

            EditText.InputType= Android.Text.InputTypes.TextFlagAutoCorrect | Android.Text.InputTypes.TextFlagAutoComplete | Android.Text.InputTypes.TextFlagMultiLine | Android.Text.InputTypes.TextVariationFilter;

Thanks in advance,

Xamarin
