how to enable and disable spell check programmatically in android?

How can I disable spelling corrections in an EditText's soft-keyboard programmatically in Android? The user can disable it from settings, but I need to disable it in my application.

Android provides a Spell Check service by default.
To disable this service:

For TextView:

android:inputType="textFilter"

For EditText:

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"

Or programatically in activity:

setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS)

If your EditText is multiline:

android:inputType="textMultiLine|textNoSuggestions"

For the android version 8.0 or above :

android:importantForAutofill="no"


textNoSuggestions does not work in every keyboard. So you can check with android:inputType="textVisiblePassword" or android:inputType="textUri”.
