Is there a way I can get android Edit Text to show suggestions when the user type the word, but do not auto-correct the value. Autocorrect shall be shown only if user clicks on the suggestion.
I've checked the following answers...
EditText without auto-correction, etc
, but it doesn't show suggestions at all.
Thanks.
May be you are looking for Providing Auto-complete Suggestions for suggesting data.
And if you want to stop auto-correcting then try to add this line into your EditText.
android:inputType="textFilter"
Hope it will help you.

Help with the android keyboard issue, Please
I'm using an EditText to write some text. Android's auto-suggest underlines the word, until we hit space. Now, if I enter the word without the space, the resulting text has an underline. It's because I use Html.toHtml(view.getText()).
Now, there are a few answers I'll be expecting such as disabling auto-suggestion or using view.getText().toString(), but I need them both. I need the auto-suggestion feature as well as the formatting of the text. An example which solves this problem is the Gmail app. You can write whatever you want in the EditText box and it sends the email without the words being underlined.
Use this just before you getText(). This is the most straightforward and the official way.
edittext.clearComposingText();
Do it like this
android:inputType="text|textNoSuggestions"
I just came up with a solution for this. After submitting the text, just hide the keyboard, and the text underline goes away.
I'm making an application that will store a page of text. This application should read highlighted text shown on the screen and pronounce it for the user. The problem is that when I disable the EditText from editing, I can't set highlight in the EditText anymore.
I use this code for disabling:
contentBox.setKeyListener(null);
And this code for setting highlight:
contentBox.setSelection(0,findNextLineIndex(0));
Any idea? Thanks.
I think you can use android:editable="false" to disable it; then u can get its focus :) cheers :)
In my android application i am using a simple login page.
The issue is that when testing in android htc wildfire,the user could not see the text typed till he press back or done
I would like the user to view his text while typing itself.

Could anyone please let me know how to resolve this?
Please share your valuable suggestions.
Thanks in advance :)
Looks like your problem is this:
When user clicks in the EditText to type, the keyboard pops up and hides the EditText, thus the user can't see what he's typing
For this, you can put that EditText into a ScrollView so that when keyboard pops-up, Android scrolls the EditText up. This way,the user can see what he's typing.
Well I don't know whether it will help you or not. but am sharing because some other may be benifited. I got the same issue in my Kindle tablet.
And I have solved this just by adding the simple attribute to the edittext.
<EditText
.........
android:textCursorDrawable="#drawable/Black"
/>
And its done. Now it will show each character you types.
If it helps you, I will suggest you to write the above attribute everytime you declare an edittext, even though this issue doesn't occur.
