Android Question Spell Check Not Available on all phones?

[canalrun]

Hello,
I have a multiline EditText that I would like to have Spell Check enabled.

I found this code from Erel on the forms:

Sub SpellCheck(et As EditText, Enable As Boolean)
If Enable Then
   eT.inputType=Bit.Or(eT.InputType, 524288)
Else
   et.InputType = Bit.And(et.InputType, Bit.Not(524288))
End Sub

I have three LG phones – Volt, G2, and G3. Spell check works on all three phones. If I type something wrong and hit the space, the incorrect word is underlined in red and I can click on it to get suggestions for the correct spelling.

I have three Samsung devices – S3, S5, and Tab S 8.4. Spell check does not work on any of these devices running the same app that works on the LG. I did a Google search and I think I found that Samsung removes the spell check service, at least for USA devices.

I only have LG and Samsung devices to test on – even friend's devices are from one of these two manufacturers.

Is this correct? Do most devices support spell check or is LG the exception?

Thanks,
Barry.

Most devices should support spell checking. It is a very basic feature. Have you tried to switch the soft keyboard?
