Android App How to override autocorrect on Samsung devices on EditText fields

I'm building an Android app that has some EditText (text entry) fields. One in particular is an address field. This is the current inputType specification I have set in the layout XML:

android:inputType="textCapWords|textPostalAddress"

It works great on Google Nexus devices that are straight up Android. No autocorrect happens on these devices unless autocorrect is specified.

When running on a Samsung Galaxy S5, it appears that Samsung is overriding this with their bloated OS (sorry, I cannot stand forceful bloating). The example I can give, if you enter 91st it tries to autocorrect it.

I don't believe there should be any autocorrection enabled for an address entry field.

Am I stuck, or is there a way for me to override Samsung and their devious ways? :)

Try adding textNoSuggestions like so,

android:inputType="textCapWords|textPostalAddress|textNoSuggestions"
