This has been asked elsewhere online to no avail. Is there any way in Android to display the numeric soft keyboard when focusing on an EditText, but still allow any text to be entered?
I'd like to let the user enter quantities (e.g. "1 kg", "2 L"), so just setting inputType="number" won't work.

To get the number pad, and tap the special character key in the lower left corner of the keyboard. Then, tap the key just to the left of the spacebar with the numbers 1-4 in a little square. You'll get a cool little number pad along with common mathematical operators.
You can use android:inputType="number" in the XML file. You can specify other values such as numberDecimal as well. Also, you might additionally want to use android:singleLine="true" for a single line Edittext .
Add the following line of code, and it will do the trick :)
editText.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_QWERTY);
This will show the the numeric keypad first, but also allows you to enter free text.

This may be device dependant but have you tried:
android:inputType="phone" All Input Types Link
in the EditText's xml , this gives you the number pad keyboard but then you can still switch to letter's if you want. (Atleast on my Nexus One).
