Disable Predictive Text in EditText

Question

I think this is a pretty simply question, but how do I disable the predictive text for an EditText in Android. Do I set a property in the EditText's XML or a property in the EditText's object... or both? Thanks!

You can set the inputType property in the XML layout or call setInputType() with one or more (separated by |) of those values.

To disable the suggestions use text|textNoSuggestions. However the Sense UI keyboard seems to ignore that, adding textFilter works here.
