How do I default to numeric keyboard on EditText without forcing numeric input?

I donot think that is possible in the default way. Because user can enter any digit a-z but user will be shown numeric keyboard Please have a look on following URL developer.android.com/reference/android/... Thanks Deepak.

If I understand you this link must help you. Only show number buttons on Soft Keyboard in Android?

Thanks for your reply, David. Unfortunately, the question you linked is about solving kind of the opposite problem. I want to be able to type text as well as numbers.

I just want the numeric keyboard to show up first. Let me know if I'm not being clear in my question so I can edit it. – Lyudmil May 27 at 14:50.

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).

If you specify inputType="number" you can also switch to letters, but pressing on letters has no effect. If I set inputType="phone", I cannot even switch to letters on my device, never mind actually typing text. Can you type letters into your phone field?

Write the code in XML, android:numeric="integer" android:inputType="phone" android:digits="1234567890.

One appropriate answer is: with a numeric input, paired with some form of category select for the unit. Radio, dropdown, or spinner. This is probably easier to use and also saves you the headache of having to validate your input every time.

You could also just have iron cojones and write a custom soft keyboard.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
