Disabling Spell-Checking
In order to get rid of spell checking you must specify the EditText’s InputType in the XML as the following:
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
However, my EditText needed also to be multiline, so I have added the following line to the EditText’s XML:
android:inputType="textMultiLine|textNoSuggestions"
Disabling Word-Wrap
As noted, the XML attribute android:scrollHorizontally="true"
does not work. However, strangely, if it is done through Java it does work. Here is the necessary code to achieve no word wrapping:
mEditText.setHorizontallyScrolling(true);
