android EditText用什么inputType避免文本提示

Question

one of my biggest peeves is how some android keyboards make text suggestions come up with no way to hide the keyboard. I think this has something to do with the kind of editable field is being focused.

What inputType will make this never happen? I never want to see android word suggestions when I am trying to have a user log in, for instance.

Answer 1

TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS

Answer 2

If you want to do it programmatically, then you can use the following code to avoid text suggestions on all keyboard types.

//assume an EditText object with name myEditText
myEditText.setInputType(myEditText.getInputType() | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);

InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS does not seem to work as expected on all keyboards whereas InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD has the drawback that it also disables toggling the language in the keyboard and the swipe gesture to add the text.
