How do you set the EditText keyboard to only consist of numbers on Android?

Question

I want my EditText to display a keyboard that ONLY has numbers visible, no other characters.

I have tested with all available inputs and it doesn't work. I searched for a way to get a keyboard that only has numbers but I have only seen references to:

android: inputType = "numberPassword" 

But I want the numbers to be visible, like this: (numberPassword)

I have tried with:

android:digits="0123456789" android:inputType="phone" 

and

android:inputType="number" 

but it appears like this:

Answer 1

After several tries, I got it! I'm setting the keyboard values programmatically like this:

myEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_PASSWORD); 

Or if you want you can edit the XML like so:

android: inputType = "numberPassword" 

Both configs will display password bullets, so we need to create a custom ClickableSpan class:

private class NumericKeyBoardTransformationMethod extends PasswordTransformationMethod {     @Override     public CharSequence getTransformation(CharSequence source, View view) {         return source;     } } 

Finally we need to implement it on the EditText in order to display the characters typed.

myEditText.setTransformationMethod(new NumericKeyBoardTransformationMethod()); 

This is how my keyboard looks like now:

android:inputType="number" or android:inputType="phone". You can keep this. You will get the keyboard containing numbers. For further details on different types of keyboard, check this link.

I think it is possible only if you create your own soft keyboard. Or try this android:inputType="number|textVisiblePassword. But it still shows other characters. Besides you can keep android:digits="0123456789" to allow only numbers in your edittext. Or if you still want the same as in image, try combining two or more features with | separator and check your luck, but as per my knowledge you have to create your own keypad to get exactly like that..
