Disabling autosuggestion on WebView?
In addition to setSaveFormData setting as False, this also helped me
WebView.getSettings().setSavePassword(false);
WebView.clearFormData();
The suggested above answers didn't help me. So I found next solution: I just created a simple wrapper for WebView and used it.
public class NoSuggestionsWebView extends WebView {
public NoSuggestionsWebView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public NoSuggestionsWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public NoSuggestionsWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
@Override
public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo outAttrs) {
InputConnection ic = super.onCreateInputConnection(outAttrs);
outAttrs.inputType &= ~EditorInfo.TYPE_MASK_VARIATION; /* clear VARIATION type to be able to set new value */
outAttrs.inputType |= InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_WEB_PASSWORD; /* WEB_PASSWORD type will prevent form suggestions */
return ic;
}
}
This problem vexed me for quite a while but the solution is very simple:
webview.getSettings().setSaveFormData(false);
I wrote about it here:
