How to disable displaying "suggestions" on the Soft Keyboard

When developing for 2.0+, the supposed way is setting android:inputType="textNoSuggestions" (ref). Unfortunately, suggestions are still shown on HTC Desire 2.2 (and probably other HTC Sense devices as well).
Using android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"will not help as well as the software keyboard by HTC won't allow you to switch languages.
So I stick to android:inputType="textFilter" to disable suggestions.

You can disable suggestions on the Soft Keyboard by adding the following line in the xml -

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"

However according to this article, it may or may not be supported by the IME (the keyboard).

If this issue occurs, the below method works for sure -

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions|textVisiblePassword"
