Disable auto-suggest does not work for non-English keyboards

Question

I have set InputType to TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD to my EditText view to disable auto-suggest. It works fine when language selected is English but when I change language to Japanese, auto suggest is not disabled.

Any idea how to disable auto-suggest programmatically irrespective of the language selected and device type?

Nonprogrammatically:

Go into the XML file, find the EditText, change it with android:inputType="text|textNoSuggestions".

Programmatically:

yourEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);

See here for more details.

Try only using `InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS`, and see if that works. – sheepiiHD Mar 02 '17 at 15:05
