Android programmatically disable autocomplete/autosuggest for EditText in emulator

Question

Targeting Android 2.2

I have read the answers to the following questions:

Turn off autosuggest for EditText?

Android: Multiline & No autosuggest

Answer 1

For Vodafone 845 (2.1), huawei 8800 (2.2) devices, textVisiblePassword seems to prevent word prediction.

vendorId.setInputType(android.text.InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | android.text.InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD);

or

android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"

[Edit] this answer is quite old and I don't have the environment anymore to test to get up-to-date info for comments here, sorry.
