Question

Hi friends,

I am working on an android application. I have a small issue with
android soft keyboard. I have an editText and when i click on it, it
shows me android soft keyboard. On the top of the soft keyboard, there
is a text area that displays all the text i type using soft
keyboard.It displays me what ever text i type using the keyboard. Is
there a option to hide that text area on keyboard.

Kindly help me in this issue.

Thanks in advance.

I think you are talking about Auto Suggestion. Add the following code to your edit text in the layout file.

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"  

or in the code, you can use it like this,

setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
