Disable auto suggestion for edittext with input type number

Below is the code i am using for edittext which allows user to enter only numbers.

 <EditText
            android:id="@+id/mobileNumber"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="@string/mobileHint"
            android:inputType="number"
            android:textColorHint="@color/hintColor"
            android:textColor="@color/numbertextcolor"
            android:textSize="@dimen/sp16" />

To disable autosuggestions i changed

  android:inputType="number"

to

  android:inputType="number|textNoSuggestions"

But with this my edittext also allow user to enter special characters listed in Num KeyPad.

I want to allow user to enter only numbers with auto suggestion off.

Using android:inputType="numberDecimal|numberSigned|textNoSuggestions" in xml wasn't working but

editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);

in java file worked for me.
