how to disable spellcheck Android edittext

Tags:

You can do it with following code. Just paste it in layout of EditText.

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"

In order to get rid of spell checking you have to specify the EditText's InputType in the XML as the following:

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"

However, if your EditText is multiline and also you need to get rid of spell checking,then you have to specify the EditText's InputType in the XML as the following:

android:inputType="textMultiLine|textNoSuggestions"

Minor addition to Chintan's answer - such (and other) combination is also allowed:
android:inputType="textCapSentences|textNoSuggestions"


Or if you want to just disable the red underline (and the autocorrect dialog), you can override the isSuggestionsEnabled() method on TextView.

This will keep the keyboard autocomplete working.


I just Added a line in for EditText editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);

and it worked fine for me.
