Android N crashes in TextAppearanceSpan

Question

Since upgrading my Nexus 5X to Android N, I have the following crash when using EditText:

   java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Failed to resolve attri         


        

Answer 1

In the stack trace there was a reference to SuggestionsPopupWindow that made me think of disabling suggestions for EditText.

I used the following code as a workaround:

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
        if ((editText.getInputType() & InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS) != InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS) {
            editText.setInputType(editText.getInputType() | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
        }
    }

We can also set inputType in XML, but the above code allows us to add TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS to existent input type.
