1. You can set the no suggestions flag with:

B4X:

EditText1.InputType = Bit.Or(EditText1.InputType, 524288)

2. With reflection:

B4X:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   RemoveHomeIcon
End Sub

Sub RemoveHomeIcon
   Dim r As Reflector
   r.Target = r.GetActivity
   r.Target = r.RunMethod("getActionBar")
   r.RunMethod2("setDisplayShowHomeEnabled", False, "java.lang.boolean")
End Sub

Erel, will your #1 solution have any negative impacts on non-ics devices?

The flag is supported by Android 2.0 and above.

Hi Guys

How do you switch spellchecker on in your application in the first place.

It should be on by default unless the user configure the keyboard not to show suggestions.

Hi Erel

I have bluetooth keyboard with a 10" tablet and unfortunately I don't get any suggestions when using it. I was looking for another way of spell checking can you think of any thing that i could utilise.

Regards

David

It cannot be set programmatically. You need to set it in the keyboard settings.

An alternate way to disable suggestions on a per-EditText field is to set the Input_Type to 129 (TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD OR TYPE_CLASS_TEXT)

i.e. etField.Input_Type = 129
