So this is a fairly odd problem: I am currently working on an app using the latest SDK/ADT with my android:minSdkVersion set to 8.
When the app is deployed onto an ICS device (Galaxy Nexus), android is adding red-squiggly underlines to words it thinks are miss-spelled in TextView widgets.
See screenshot:
The layout in question:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:editable="false"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:text="This is a test of a TextView showing the spell checking when it shouldn't. Phunware.com loves the game Baldr Force. Funimation.com"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" >
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
I have tried adding android:editable="false" to the widgets, with no effect.

It looks like if you have the android:inputType specified, this enabled spell check on a widget. Oops!
ReplyDeleteThe way to disable it is to set inputType to "textNoSuggestions"
