What is special about android:inputType="textPersonName" for EditText

Question

I tried

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/editText1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:ems="10"
            android:inputType="textPersonName" >

I realize it can accept any characters. So, what is special having android:inputType="textPersonName", compared to not having it?

Answer 1

The difference is that if you use "textPersonName", the user can not insert new lines (the enter button is not showed)

Answer 2

Spelling check is not done when using android:inputType="textPersonName" but it is done in textCapWords.

So if you use textPersonName there won't be red underline for names but first letter of each name (firstname, middlename, lastname etc) won't be capitalized.

so best solution is combining both with an or that is android:inputType="textPersonName|textCapWords".

now there won't be red underline for name and first letter would be capitalized also
