[FIXED] How to force EditText to start text with capital letter?

Issue

I have an EditText and I need the text in it (when user types in) to be started with capital letter.

Solution

Be careful if you add both android:capitalize="sentences" and android:inputType="text", as the latter seems to have priority over the first and the input will not be capitalized.

There's a specific inputType for automatically capitalizing the first letter:

android:inputType="textCapSentences"

See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:inputType
