This example demonstrates how do I set only numeric value for editText in Android. Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project. Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main. xml.
Use android:inputType="number" to force it to be numeric. Convert the resulting string into an integer (e.g., Integer. parseInt(myEditText. getText().
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 .
To get the number pad, 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.
Add android:inputType="number" as an XML attribute.
For example:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/myNumber"
android:digits="0123456789."
android:inputType="numberDecimal"
/>
In code, you could do
ed_ins.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
For only digits input use android:inputType="numberPassword" along with editText.setTransformationMethod(null); to remove auto-hiding of the number.
OR
android:inputType="phone"
For only digits input, I feel these couple ways are better than android:inputType="number". The limitation of mentioning "number" as inputType is that the keyboard allows to switch over to characters and also lets other special characters be entered. "numberPassword" inputType doesn't have those issues as the keyboard only shows digits. Even "phone" inputType works as the keyboard doesnt allow you to switch over to characters. But you can still enter couple special characters like +, /, N, etc.
android:inputType="numberPassword" with editText.setTransformationMethod(null);
inputType="phone"
inputType="number"
