Since it looks like your EditText is for entering names, give a try to textPersonName instead of textCapWords. — momo, Sep 25 '13 at 05:44

Try something like this

Set android:inputType="textCapSentences" on your EditText.

programatically should be like this...

EditText etValue = new EditText(this);
etValue.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES);
