Android Webview : Display numberpad?

Question

I implemented a WebView in my android app displaying a web form. One of the fields ask for the user to manually enter his phone number (in case the phone does not allow extracting of phone number).

Right now, the qwerty soft keyboard pops up when user selects the field. Is there a way I can have the numberpad display instead?

(Remember I'm using HTML and not native controls)

Thanks! Shaun

Answer 1

just use <input type="number /> in a form, that will bring up the number keypad

Answer 2

There is an HTML input type specially for phone numbers for that you should use

<input type="tel" />
