hide keyboard autosuggest bar

Question

I have tried

android:inputType="textFilter" 


android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"  


x.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);

android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"

I can see there are a lot of things to try Android programmatically disable autocomplete/autosuggest for EditText in emulator

Is there any method that works on all devices? For instance those commands above don't work on my device, yet work for other people.

Yes, to clarify, I'm using a softkeyboard, and the autosuggest is on top of it. — Paul, Mar 20 '13 at 15:23

x.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD);

This works, even though the xml version does not. Probably won't work on all device I install it on. Weird issue.

Why are you wanting to do this? – ElefantPhace Mar 20 '13 at 16:01
It takes up too much room on the screen. Seeing as the keyboard already takes up half the screen. It's not needed. – Paul Mar 20 '13 at 16:30
Not everyone and not every device uses the same IME though. – ElefantPhace Mar 20 '13 at 21:52
True, however this app will always be used on the same type of tablet, same software etc. – Paul Mar 21 '13 at 11:08
