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

Using android:inputType="textNoSuggestions|textVisiblePassword" for Edittext fix the problem.

Answer 2

In the layout XML, add the following attribute to your EditText:

android:inputType="text|textNoSuggestions"

If neither this, nor the above approaches work, then this is almost certainly a problem with the emulator and the other device, and you should contact the manufacturers directly.

See also: android:inputType (note that EditText is a subclass of TextView, which is why this attribute also works for EditTexts).

Answer 3

Try This android:importantForAutofill="no"

Answer 4

personally, this code help me:

autoCompleteTextView.setAdapter(null);
autoCompleteTextView.setText(address);
autoCompleteTextView.setAdapter(adapter);

I want to disable suggestions when I set text so I remove the adapter and after I call setText, I return it.

so if you want to disable suggestion just use:

autoCompleteTextView.setAdapter(null);

Answer 5

'oninput' event in the input, ran the following function:

function RefreshAutoComplete(elm) {
elm.keyup();
elm.focus();
}

I run the auto complete manually, and it works

Thank you all for the help

Answer 6

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"
