If you'd like an input method for entering a phone number, use the "phone" value:

Use inputType="phone"

As Zubair suggested inputType="phone" popup perfect keyboard for me. But to avoid extra character I did use digits="0123456789+"

<EditText
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:id="@+id/enteramount"
                android:hint="Amount"
                android:textSize="@dimen/Heading"
                android:padding="5dp"
                android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
                android:inputType="phone"
                android:digits="0123456789+"
                android:background="@drawable/edit_text_bg"/>
