Hi I have a registration form in my app and I have a phone number EditText box and I want to force the area code like (+233) so it is
always visible as they are typing. Is there a way of doing this?

i have implemented keyboard type number but problem is it is showing bottom center of tab with 4 rows.what i want is to show keyboard in one row only.not mutiple row.
You don't get to make that choice. The keyboard is its own app in Android, and it decides what keys are displayed. You can give it a hint from the type of the field, such as number or email. But the final decision on what and how to display is the keyboard app's.
I have a horizontal only, full screen activity in my android app. In this activity, I need to disable full screen keyboard in some EditText elements so that the user can see the EditText while typing.
I disabled the full screen keyboard by adding following to EditText xml.
android:imeOptions="flagNoExtractUi"
When I touch the EditText for the fist time to enter text into it, the screen gets pulled up (keyboard comes up from bottom) so that EditText is visible while typing. After entering text and closing the keyboard, while the EditText is still having focus, if I touched it again to do some correction to the text entered, it doesn't get pulled up as it did before (Edit text is covered by keyboard). So I cannot see what is in the text box while typing. I'm not sure whether this is the default behavior since user has no idea what he is typing in this situation.
Is there a some way to get the screen to always pull up so it is visible?
use edittext in ScrollView and android:fillViewport="true" on the ScrollView. That's the better solution.
I am a beginner with android development, and I was wondering if it is possible to make it so that when the user touches the EditText, no keyboard pops up. I want this because I have created buttons that correspond to numbers, so when they touch the button, a 1 will appear in the edittext.
You should use a spinner (http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-spinner.html) with all your numbers loaded from an array resource.
Any way, if you don't want to edit your EditText you could set editable to false on the XML layout.
android:editable="false"
I would like to know when the user presses the 'enter/done/next' key on the soft keyboard without the activity knowing which edittext box the user is in. I have seen some code, but it always uses the name of the edittext box that is being edited.
The app has numerous edittext boxes, and calculations are re-run anytime any one of the values in a edittext box is changed.
Then attach the OnEditorActionListener to all of them.
In my Android application I want to add charecters while the user is entering the data. (ex:if user enters 'a' I want to show '(a' in EditText).
I believe this happens automatically. When the EditText gains focus, a connection is made between the edittext and the input manager. Basically anything that is entered via the input manager is then sent to the edittext. So just by clicking on the EditText on the screen and then typing, the letters should appear on their own.
