+1 on this.
I need it for an App I wrote. [import]uid: 110373 topic_id: 10325 reply_id: 101340[/import]

That’s awesome Lance, I hadn’t expected something like that to work on device. Bookmarking this for future reference! [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 10325 reply_id: 112855[/import]

In the text field handler, simply add the following lines right at the beginning of the function:

 local isSimulator = "simulator" == system.getInfo("environment")  
  
 if not isSimulator then  
  
 local ett = event.target.text  
  
 event.target.text = ett:sub(1,string.len(ett)-1)  
 event.target.text = ett  
  
 end

It’s brilliantly simple as it mimics how everyone manually gets around autocorrect by backspacing and retyping the letter again. It’s happens extremely fast and you cannot tell that anything is going on other than --no autocomplete-- .

I’ve tested it on an iPhone and an iPad.

Thanks. I just couldn’t accept that it wasn’t possible.
I updated the code a little. [import]uid: 145435 topic_id: 10325 reply_id: 113138[/import]
