I noticed with some apps/and even accessing websites on the phone, that my phone keyboard does not provide me with the auto correction feature.
I was wondering , is it possible to disable the auto correction in my app when someone clicks on EditText?
Thank you
Try adding
android:inputType="text|textNoSuggestions"
in you xml.
Please see how to avoid soft keyboard showing auto correct suggestion?
Update
After reading How to disable displaying "suggestions" on the Soft Keyboard it seems the above will not work in a few rare cases.
Therefore, a safer way to go would be to use
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions|textVisiblePassword"
or
android:inputType="textFilter"

Could anyone help me the way which combination of
android:inputType
can directly show the softkeyboard with numbers and different digits in it. Take a look on that screenshot:
needed softkeyboard That is what I'm looking for.
I have found combination of
android:inputType="text|textVisiblePassword"
which shows such keyboard: found softkeyboard.
But it's not what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance.
Android TV's GBoard (Keyboard app) only supports email, password, text, and numeric input layouts. Unfortunately none of those is very close to what you're looking for. You can either implement a keyboard-like UI within your app to accomplish what you're looking for (substantial undertaking) or use the password layout and give instructions to the user, depending on your use case.
I would like to remove the "settings" and the "paste" keys in the keyboard (EditText). How can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
About possible duplicate with this thread: How to disable copy/paste from/to EditText, my question is a bit different. I am not trying to find a way to cancel the paste function in any keyboard the user may choose. In my context, the app is in kiosk mode, so user has not the privileges to change anything. And that exactly why I do not want him being able to change any keyboard config using that "setting" key in the android default keyboard...
How to force keyboard to show only English(UK). I need this because i want to prevent user to enter other languages like Arabic, chines etc., And if user using Arabic keyboard then i need to force my app (keyboard) to use English(UK) keyboard.
kindly help me to achieve this. Thanks in advance.
I think it would be better to filter the input keys.
Even if you will be able to force English keyboard that doesn't force users to use only English letters because they can also long press a character or even have a another hardware keyboard (non-english).
So, you should listen to some events onTextChanged for example and reject all characters that you do not want to accept.
You should never force the user to do that kind of thing. If you detect a non english keyboard, just put a pop up asking them to use an english keyboard, and give them the steps to do so !
As Thomas said, you should get answers if you're sure about doing so into the post he linked
I have only a EditText in my fragment. I want user not to use Swype Keyboard for that particular EditText. How can I disable it and allow user to type using other keyboard available.
The keyboard used is ultimately up to the user to decide and can not be changed by a developer without really going against Androids guidelines.
I believe that you cannot change your default keyboard by code with standard SDK...
The solution you can implement is send the user to the settings so he can change it.
See THIS POST that explains how to do it.
Currently I am busy with designing keyboard maximum functionality of the keyboard has been completed at that time i am facing a problem regard setting of this key board like Speed of typing, spell checking, suggestion box and other think i know this is control by Preference.

Settings >Language and Keyboard >My Keyboard name > Setting of this Keyboard.
Can any one told me hoe can it possible thanks in advance.
You will have to create your own custom firmware.
Perhaps this question and answer covers what you want to do?
