Solution 1:

Try adding dropDownVerticalOffset attribute to AutoCompleteTextView in your xml:

  ...
         <AutoCompleteTextView
           android:id="@+id/NewSearch"
            android:layout_width="190dip"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                    ...
                     android:dropDownVerticalOffset="50dp"
                    ...
                                             />
    ...
