[android-developers] Trying to turn off candidates view in EditText with on-screen keyboard

Hi,

My application uses an EditText box to input information that is not
English words.
When I do this i get the candidates view (which I normally love :)
with suggestions for known words.
I do not want to pollute my word list by saving what I typed so I want
to turn off candidates view for this text box.

I have searched the documentation and WEB but could not find the
answer.

I have tried two methods:

1. Set the XML property "input type" to various values.
With this I can't find one that lets me input 'raw' text without a
candidates view.

2. Use InputMethodService
static InputMethodService mInputService;
mInputService=new InputMethodService();
mInputService.setCandidatesViewShown(false);
Whenever i try the last line my app 'has stopped unexpectedly'

I would prefer to understand the second method, but would be happy
for
the first one to work, for now. :)

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
