How to get a pin number password keyboard in android?

Question

I need a number keyboard on a PIN EditText. I tried using

android:inputType="number|textPassword"

This brings up the number keypad, but the characters are not password chars.

How to get a number keypad that shows password chars in EditText view?

The app runs on 2.2 and above.

@NathanVillaescusa The accepted answer there did not help. That is not my requirement.. I used another answer that suggested setting the type programatically.. — Ron, Oct 26 '12 at 12:17

You should have a look here: Edittext set for password with phone number input? (android)

It states that android:password is deprecated, but is the only way because android:inputType="phone|textPassword" is ignored ...

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/EditText01"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:password="true"
    android:inputType="phone" 
/>

In my styles.xml, these two seem to work for me:

<item name="android:inputType">numberPassword</item>
<item name="android:password">true</item>

This works:

     <EditText
         android:id="@+id/pinEdit"
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_margin="4dp"
         android:digits="1234567890"
         android:inputType="textPassword"
         android:maxLength="4" >

         <requestFocus />
     </EditText>

If digits will work for you.

EDIT: Ah, I see, it doesn't bring up the number keypad....back to the drawing board.
