Turn off autosuggest for EditText?

Question

Is there a way to programmatically turn off that autosuggest list which pops up as you type in EditText?

Answer 1

OK, the problem was - in Eclipse you don't get suggestion for flag named: textNoSuggestion

And you can't set it in main.xml (where you design UI) because that attribute for inputType isn't recognized. So you can set it in code using int const:

EditText txtTypeIt = (EditText) this.findViewById(R.id.txtTypeIt);
txtTypeIt.setInputType(524288);

And thanks jasta00 for helping me out figure answer for this one.

works like a charm

Answer 4

1. Programatically

   edittext.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
   

2. XML

   android:inputType="textNoSuggestions|textVisiblePassword"
   

Answer 5

As this is still an issue, I'm going to post this answer. android:inputType="textVisiblePassword" works but it is undesirable, first because it's a misrepresentation of the input and second because it disables Gesture Typing!

Instead I had to use BOTH flags textNoSuggestions and textFilter. Either one alone did not work.

android:inputType="textCapSentences|textFilter|textNoSuggestions"

The textCapSentences was for other reasons. But this inputType kept the swipe typing and disabled the suggestion toolbar.

android:inputType="text|textNoSuggestions"
