[Android] Facing Issues due to Android predictive text

[Akash Sinha]

Hi all,

I am working on a mobile website, in which i have a autofill feature for a input box i.e. based on text entered, we show a drop down list of suggested values and when user clicks/taps the list item, the input box gets populated with that value.
But when 'Predictive text' is enabled in android keyboard, when someone taps on list value, input box doesn't get filled by our value rather than it takes the one predicted by android dictionary.

I guess there must be some event firing after i am populating the input box when a user taps.

If someone has faced this/OR have any idea, please share your suggestions.


Thank you
Akash

Have you tried switching off autocomplete for the text input field? Using the autocomplete attribute?

Yes, autocomplete="off" is already there. I guess autocomplete off doesn't allow you to select the value from your form history.
But this predictive text feature is auto-filling the input.

Forgot to mention, also try with autocorrect="off"
