Which version are you using? This feature seems to be available in API 5.

Try this solution:

Working wih the latest one, and textNoSuggestions won't error out on my end but doesn't work either
Setting the inputType to textNoSuggestions works when you type in that EditText view for the first time. If you navigate to another view on the screen and mouse click again on the same EditText to focus on. This is where the suggestions window displayed as I type.

Any ideas?

Thank you dejanpazin, using textNoSuggestions|textVisiblePassword combination seems to resolve the issue.
