android - How to disable auto-capitalization of an EditText

Question

This will have a really simple answer, but I can't seem to find what it is. I want to disable the auto-capitalization of an EditText so that, by default, the first letter entered with not be automatically capitalized. I still want to allow capitalization, but only if the user manually does so.

I've tried android:capitalize="none" on my EditText, and I've tried android:inputType="text" but both still auto-capitalize the first letter. I don't want to use a TextWatcher because on the soft keyboard it will still show the shift key as pressed for the first letter, and I'm nit-picky and don't want that to show.

Answer 1

You could try using android:inputType="none" instead.

UPDATE:

You could also try using android:inputType="text|textEmailAddress"
