How to prevent underlining of typed text and also have all capital letters?

Question

My style for my TextInputLayout

<style name="inputText" parent="Widget.Design.TextInputLayout">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/neon_blue</item>
    <item name="android:inputType">textVisiblePassword|textCapCharacters</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
</style>

has inputType

textVisiblePassword|textCapCharacters

I have textCapCharacters to make text all caps. I have textVisiblePassword to prevent key board from underlining text as it is typed.

textVisiblePassword overrides textCapCharacters because passwords are case sensitive.

How can I prevent underlining of typed text and also have all caps?

edit

textNoSuggestions does not remove underline from typing which is why I added textVisiblePassword but textVisiblePassword appears to override textCapCharacters because (I think) that passwords are enforced to be case sensitive.

I think it's easier to understand the problem if you post screenshot. — Shashanth, Jul 01 '19 at 04:04

To prevent key board from underlining text, you have to use textNoSuggestions. Use your style like this -

<style name="inputText" parent="Widget.Design.TextInputLayout">
     <item name="android:textColor">@color/neon_blue</item>
    <item name="android:inputType">textVisiblePassword|textCapCharacters|textNoSuggestions</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
</style>

Does the keyboard underline the text of the system? Seems interesting. – Gourav Jul 01 '19 at 04:28
That is the suggestion, i guess – Anupam Jul 01 '19 at 04:47
I am just pointing out that the system does the text to be underlined not the keyboard I think or I might be wrong. – Gourav Jul 01 '19 at 05:59
