How to switch to numeric with special characters k

Question

I want to show this keyboard by default on EditText focus:

These actions didn't help:

inputType=number
inputTYpe=phone
numeric=integer
setRawInputType(...) 

How should I do it?

Answer 1

There's no way to achieve this. Even if your input method includes such a key panel, it's up to the keyboard "author". More importantly, the "even if" is even not guaranteed.

Answer 2

That old problem still not solved. There's no way to show numeric keyboard with option of switching back.

This question discussed here Is there a way to show the numbers first on the soft keyboard for Android?

Answer 3

try to use this in java:

editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);              
editText.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
