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

The other suggestions are correct, but SwiftKey has decided it will ignore the inputtype values "in response to user requests". While I agree this is a bad idea since it contradicts the Google guidelines and developers usually have a good reason for disabling auto-correction (like username fields, family names and so on), it still is the most used keyboard application for Android devices, so this can be a big problem.

The workaround is to use either

android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"

or

.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD);
