Disabling Android "autocorrect" for specific field

I'm working on an Android app and at the front there's a login page. The Android keyboard often interrupts the users input and corrects their username to something else. It's possible for the user to just persevere and input their username but it can take a few tries. Is there a way to stop the keyboard from automatically correcting the user's input whilst entering text into that specific field?

Solution

  • You can try the following:

    EditText etUsername = ............;

etUsername.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);

    To do this in xml, add this to your EditText:

    android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
