Disable keyboard autocorrect

Question

I noticed with some apps/and even accessing websites on the phone, that my phone keyboard does not provide me with the auto correction feature.

I was wondering , is it possible to disable the auto correction in my app when someone clicks on EditText?

Thank you

Try adding

android:inputType="text|textNoSuggestions"

in you xml.

Update

After reading How to disable displaying "suggestions" on the Soft Keyboard it seems the above will not work in a few rare cases.

Therefore, a safer way to go would be to use

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions|textVisiblePassword"

or

android:inputType="textFilter"
