How to disable key preview in popup keyboard (not in main softkeyboard layout)?

Question

It's easy to disable key previews: just call setPreviewEnabled(false) and these annoying tiny previews won't show up anymore. But if I attach a popup keyboard to any key then these previews will show up inside that popup:

qwerty.xml:

<Key android:codes="101" 
    android:keyLabel="E" 
    android:popupKeyboard="@xml/popup"
   android:keyTextSize="60sp"/>

popup.xml:

<Row>
    <Key android:codes="-10000"
        android:keyLabel="test"
        android:keyOutputText="test"/>
</Row>
<Row>
    <Key android:codes="-10001"
        android:keyLabel="test2"
        android:keyOutputText="test2"/>
</Row>

Can't post images, but if I long press letter 'E' and then press test or test2 button they will show that white key preview.

Is there any way to disable these key previews too?

Screenshots or mock picture will help understand the issue better. — Viral Patel, Feb 02 '16 at 17:50

Call setPreviewEnabled(false) for the popup keyboard view too

// Find popup keyboard by its view-id
pKeyboardView
android.inputmethodservice.KeyboardView = (KeyboardView)mHostActivity.findViewById(viewid);

// Disable key-previews for the popup keyboard too
pKeyboardView.setPreviewEnabled(false);

create a CustomKeyboard with setPreviewEnabled(false) add your rows inside CustomeKeyboard in popup.xml as below

<CustomKeyboard 
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:keyWidth="10%p"
        android:horizontalGap="0px"
        android:verticalGap="0px"
        android:keyHeight="60px" >
        <Row><Key android:codes="-10000"
            android:keyLabel="test"
            android:keyOutputText="test"/> </Row> 
        <Row><Key android:codes="-10001"
            android:keyLabel="test2"
            android:keyOutputText="test2"/></Row>
</CustomKeyboard>

In your keyboardView set a layout for your popup with

android:popupLayout=""

And in your popup layout set this attribute:

android:keyPreviewLayout="@null"
