Turn off autosuggest for EditText?

Ways to do it:

1. Programatically

editText.inputType = InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS

2. XML

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"

---

If you already have some flags set, then:

1. Programatically

inputType = if (disableSuggestions) {
  InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS or inputType
} else {
  inputType and InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS.inv()
}

2. XML

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions|textPassword"

android:inputType="textVisiblePassword" 

works like a charm

I had the same question but I still wanted to set this option in my XML file so I did a little more research until I found it out myself.

Add this line into your EditText.

android:inputType="textFilter" 

Here is a Tip. Use this line if you want to be able to use the "enter" key.

android:inputType="textFilter|textMultiLine"

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
