I need to provide an option for the user to switch to AlphaNumeric Keyboard from the Numeric keyboard below, i was thinking can i make use of the empty keys in the numeric Keyboard and customize it with say abc so it can switch to alphanumeric keyboard.

Unless you want to make your own implementation of a keyboard, the only way to control it's appearance is via the InputType of your EditText.

You simply can't modify any buttons of the system keyboard. It will look different depending on the manufacturer anyways.

Here's what you could do:

  • Change the InputType (for the EditText that needs alphanumeric input or via a toggle button or...)

  • Implement your own keyboard for your specific needs

  • Adding a toggle button is the problem. i have implemented an relative layout which stands above the keyboard with a `ABC` button and on click of that set the input type. but i m looking to see if there are other options other than writing my own keyboard view. – SanthoshN Feb 14 '17 at 23:29
