The "spacing" you're seeing is the autocomplete suggestion area. If you have an input type set to something as simple as text then you're going to get suggestions from the keyboard. Adding textNoSuggestions to your inputType field will remove the suggestions area.

So for example:

<EditText android:id="@+id/username_field"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
    android:hint="@string/username" />

Or if you were already using something like textCapWords you can combine them like so:

<EditText android:id="@+id/username_field"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="textCapWords|textNoSuggestions"
    android:hint="@string/username" />

Also, not sure if you are using it but just a heads up, you'll want to use inputType="password" for your password field.

Whatever your inputType is, add |textNoSuggestions to the end of it.
