How do I specify EditText inputType as number and password?

Question

I have the following:

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

I'm getting a warning that "android:password" is deprecated and that I should use inputType instead. Is there a way to specify inputType as number and password?

I am targeting api 8 (2.2 and above). It appears numberPassword is not an available option. – Kevin Westwood Mar 26 '12 at 22:11

you should use TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER.

EDIT:

As this answer

android:inputType="textPassword|number"

ignore textPassword and only accept number but not password.

So you should use android:inputType="textPassword|number" with android:password="true".

that seems to be the only solution.

`android:password="true"` is deprecated. `android:inputType="numberPassword"` will work. – CoolMind Sep 19 '18 at 16:13

Just set your input type to this android:inputType="textPassword|number"

This does not seem to work. I still have the numeric keyboard, but the user can still see the text. – Kevin Westwood Mar 26 '12 at 22:09
