Disable autocorrect from specific application

Question

I'm using my device to do code with Jside and I absolutely need to disable autocorrection. Is there a way to specify application that shall not use autocorrection ?



(Since I'm using swiftkey a lot I need it for texting etc..)

Answer

There is no built-in way to do this, but you could probably do it with Tasker and root. You can create a trigger on application foreground/background to turn auto-correct on or off depending on which app it was. I am not sure of the specifics since I haven't used Tasker but hopefully you can figure it out. This Reddit comment is for a similar task (switching keyboards) and might be a good place to start.



AutomateIt might be able to do this as well.
