Please try:

WebView.getSettings().setSavePassword(false);
WebView.clearFormData();

Sir, I Think Your Code Will Enable autoComplete- Off Only On the PassWord Field , Not Username Field. I Have Many Fields In My HTML Page. – user2753237 Jul 17 '14 at 10:05

I got you if you load HTML native page which you already created then open html page and change type of it it may be completed from java-Script. just remove it.

and if possible just post your android code here so I can take a look at it and tell you that if there is any error in android code.

<form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" autocomplete="off" action="........">

   Name: <input type="text" name="text1" /><br/>
   Address: <input type="text" name="text2" /><br/>
   Phone: <input type="text" name="text3" /><br/>
   Password: <input type="password" name="password" /><br/>
 <input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />

</form>

your input element doesn't have the name attribute. thats why its not working.

<tr>
    <td style="position:absolute; top:5%;height:35px;width:100%;" >
        <input type="text" name="textbox1" id="userName" placeholder = "User Name" autocomplete ="off" >
    </td>
</tr>

Chrome does not support autocomplete="off" at the form level for some input fields.

There are 2 solutions to do so:

In your form, if only two or three fields ignore autocomplete="off", then use the field name itself as the autocomplete value. i.e. autocomplete=<input field name>
```
<form:input type="text" id="name" path="name" autocomplete="name"/>
```

Instead of defining field name manually for each field, use a script for all text typed input at the loading of the page or after.

if ($.browser.chrome) { 
    $(document).on('focus click tap', 'input', function() {
        $(this).attr("autocomplete", 'block');
    });
} else {
    $(document).on('focus click tap', 'input', function() {
        $(this).attr("autocomplete", 'off');
    });
}
