AutoComplete Elements are not recognized by uiautomator2

[Dor-bl]

Only for Android Platform, Appium can't detect Autocomplete Elements. (on iOS all work as expected)
Even when using the below caps, issue persist:

 "appium:enableMultiWindows": true,
 "appium:enableTopmostWindowFromActivePackage": true

Any other approach that might work other than using estimated element position?

Found some related issues that were reported on Appium discuss:

If the control itself is not accessible then there is no way it could be shown in the page source

But as seen in the image, the control is accessible.
but still, the dropdown view is not recognized by the Appium inspector and is not visible among App source views tree elements.

Could MaterialAutoCompleteTextView implementation work instead? https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/material/textfield/MaterialAutoCompleteTextView
