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

Try this if you want a multi-line EditText without displaying the underlines (auto correct):

    myEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | 
       InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);

Here's XML for that: android:inputType="textNoSuggestions|textMultiLine".
