Is there any way to get Japanese Kanji suggestions from Hiragana? Android

Is there a library or any way I can implement this feature which takes hiragana character and returns kanji suggestions in android.

Let me explain my situation here,

I have a textview, where i set it's text to whatever character of hiragana the user selects from a customized keyboard which appears on the screen and then it appends the letters in the textview and it should suggest kanji symbols for it. so for example: if user selects ぐ then it should suggest 具,　愚,　組, etc., Kanjis.

This suggested kanji can be displayed on another textview.

I just want to know if this is possible to achieve and any idea how to do it.

This is my customized soft keyboard (part of it) enter image description here

To see Kanji Suggestion in the Japanese language you need to change the Japanese OS. Japanese OS have built-in Japanese keyboard.

Go there : Setting> System > Language and Input > Language > Add Japanese Language

If you don't want to change OS, then you can only change your keyboard by going 

Setting> Keyboard > add Keyboard

If you want to custom library, You can use the static method UserDictionary.Words.addWord(....) but you need to add permission

Normally Works: In your EditText need to allow InputType="textCapSentences|textAutoCorrect|textAutoComplete"

<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:inputType="textCapSentences|textAutoCorrect|textAutoComplete" />
