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 some entries (e.g., changes "gor" to "for"). I tried setting textNoSuggestions on the view, but that doesn't fix it.

Any simple solution to this?

Answer 1

Try this:

android:inputType="textFilter" 

If that doesn't work, try:

android:inputType="textFilter|textNoSuggestions"
