I am stuck with dictionary hints while entering password (or any other text field).

  • 0

I am stuck with dictionary hints while entering password (or any other text field). I am doing it in this way:

editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT |
                        InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD |
                        InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);

But anyway when user selects keyboard predictions as “on” – during password entering it shows dictionary hints, which is stupid for passwords!

What I’m doing wrong?

    textNoSuggestions 0x00080001
    Can be combined with text and its
    variations to indicate that the IME should not show any
    dictionary-based word suggestions. Corresponds to
    TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS.

    More Info Here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.styleable.html#AutoCompleteTextView_inputType

    Use the IME Options for the Edit text.

    <EditText android:id="@+id/edtPass"
    android:inputType="textPassword"
    android:imeOptions="textNoSuggestions"/>
