EditText without auto-correction, etc

Question

My EditText needs to accept input consisting of partial words, names, etc. At least on my HTC Desire, this is difficult since the keyboard wants to suggest and/or correct so

Answer 1

You can do this from the code. Set the input type of the EditText like below:

txtEmail = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtEmail);
txtEmail.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);

For a list of all the available input type options see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/InputType.html
