To stop offering suggestions, add the following attribute to your EditText in XML:

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"

and/or add multiple types using | as below:

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions | text"

No, it will only skip suggestions... and I don't think by default alphabet-only keyboard is possible, unless you design one for yourself. But as an alternate, you may use `TextWatcher` on your EditText to omit unwanted characters – waqaslam Jul 17 '12 at 09:00

You can add this line to you EditText

android:inputType="textFilter"

See here why it sometimes better than textNoSuggestions
