Android how to get Suggested strings array of the TextEdit

Question

Is there a way to get an array of the suggestions strings which are shown when you typing in EditText? The problem is I have an EditText and in case of user use "Show Suggestions" option the result of the string from this EditText is different in case of user pressed, lets say UI button (this is a Button from the layout), and a return button at the soft keyboard. In first case user gets an exact string but in second - it gets corrected (suggested) string even user do NOT select this suggestion. How to solve this problem? How to get from EditText "suggested" string? Do I need to implement my own IME?

Here is an example: http://gyazo.com/74c1c69096c87dbc1533bf298b62904f If user tap on "Send" button - it will send "Tert" but is user tap " — Yuriy Chernyshov, Jan 18 '12 at 14:57
