Show numerical keyboard_android

Question

I want to show numerical keyboard when edittext is focused. I tried

myEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER)

but then it only accepts number as an input and ignores backspace etc.

I just want that numerical keyboard is showed rather than letters

Have you tried TYPE_CLASS_PHONE ? It adds some symbols (#+.), spaces and backspaces. — tcollart, Apr 19 '14 at 17:12

Do it in your xml layout

<EditText
android:id="@+id/myEditText"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="number" />

You do it in two ways.

Do it in your layout

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

Or in your code.

EditText e = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edittex);
e.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

or if you want anything like dial keypad which will only show you numbers an dwill me able to take input of Int value. try in code

e.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE);

or in layout

android:inputType="phone"

You may use TYPE_CLASS_PHONE, it adds some symbols (#+.), spaces and backspaces.
