Android: Limiting EditText to numbers

Question

When creating an EditText in the java portion of the application, how do you limit it to numbers like you would in the xml? For example:

new EditText(this);

set like

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/h1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="numberDecimal"/>

Answer 1

Use of android:numeric is deprecated, use android:inputType=number

Answer 2

this will usually do it:

android:numeric="integer"

Answer 3

Go to the docs and look at the table with XML attributes. It shows you the code equivalent of each item.

In this case, it's setRawInputType.

Answer 4

Something like this perhaps ?

EditText text = new EditText(this);
text.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL);
