How do I show the number keyboard on an EditText i

Question

I just basically want to switch to the number pad mode as soon a certain EditText has the focus.

Answer 1

If you need fractional number, then this is the answer for you:

android:inputType="numberDecimal"

Answer 2

You can do it 2 ways

1. Runtime set

   EditText input = new EditText(this);
   input.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
   

2. Using XML

   <EditText
       ...
       android:inputType="number" />
   

Answer 3

I found this implementation useful, shows a better keyboard and limits input chars.

<EditText
    android:inputType="phone"
    android:digits="1234567890"
    ...
/>

Additionally, you could use android:maxLength to limit the max amount of numbers.

To do this programmatically:

editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE);

KeyListener keyListener = DigitsKeyListener.getInstance("1234567890");
editText.setKeyListener(keyListener);

Answer 4

<EditText
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    ...
    android:inputType="number|phone"/> 

will show the large number pad as dialer.

Answer 5

If you are using your EditText in Dialog or creating dynamically and You can't set it from xml then this example will help you in setting that type of key board while you are using dynamic Edit Text etc

myEditTxt.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

where myEditTxt is the dynamic EDIT TEXT object(name)

Answer 6

Use the below code in java file

editText.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_QWERTY);
