Avoiding Underline & Password Utilities With EditText

Question

I have several EditText(s) for which I want to remove the underlining of the text. I have already set the background property of the EditText, but the text itself still gets underlined when the user starts typing. I am currently using:

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions|textVisiblePassword|textCapWords"

However, this causes some devices to ask the user if they want to save the password (which I obviously do not want, since it is not a password field). To put it simply, I want to the text to look the same as it would in a TextView (which I would assume is possible, since EditText inherits from TextView). Is there any simple way to do this? Thanks.

Hello,

However, this causes some devices to ask the user if they want to save the password

Because you set textVisiblePassword, it means the password is visible in this field, try to remove textVisiblePassword.

If you want to remove the underline of EditText, try to set android:backgroundTint="@android:color/transparent"

But your main purpose is to remove the underline in text itself, that's the autocorrection (like username fields, family names and so on). I have to say, we can't disable Text correction by EditText, you can try to turn off Text correction under Settings->System->Language&Input-> On-screen keyboard->GBoard
