Disable suggestions in multiline EditText

Question

How do you disable the autocorrection/autosuggestion features in a multilined EditText?

I tried:

EditText without auto-correction, etc

Android: Multiline & No autosuggest in EditText

How can I turnoff suggestions in EditText?

How to set multiline,firstletter caps and disable suggestions on edittext

How can I turnoff suggestions in EditText?

None of the mentioned methods like "textFilter|textMultiLine|textNoSuggestions" (in any combination) worked, neither declared in XML nor programmatically changed. It seems that the EditText-box takes either multiline or turned-off suggestions, but not both at the same time.

I think it is important to know that I'm using the HTC Desire HD with Android 2.3.3. I don't have any other device to test this.

Is this behaviour inherent to the HTC Sense UI?

Any ideas?

Answer 1

The inputType tag that you specify in EditText for MultiLine and NoSuggestions are flags that can be ignored by the system depending on its preferences.

But, I can confirm that android:inputType="textNoSuggestions|textMultiLine" in the EditText XML works perfectly fine in Nexus and Motorola smartphones. So am guessing its due to your test device preferences that you are facing this problem.
