I have an edittext in my application that gets only numeric keys. It worked fine with a filter for the keys that the user enters and with numeric keyboard shows up when the user touches the edittext box.
when I installed the app on android 7 device, the numeric keyboard shows up and after few seconds, it is hidden and an alphanumeric keyboard replaced it.
I need only numeric one!!
I assume that I need to "listen" to keyboard event and when I got any change in the keyboard type, I should act to change it back.
Anyone to tell me how to do it??!!
In your xml file give below property to your edit text
android:inputType="number"

In my app i would like to forbid the use of virtual keyboards since want to avoid the user being able to insert emojis via the keyboard. I managed to remove the emoji button from the default keyboard by setting the EditText inputType properties to android:inputType="textVisiblePassword|text", based on this answer/ question.
But given the case that the user uses a different virtual keyboard, the emoji button is back again of course.
Question: Is there a way to forbid virtual keyboards inside the app? So that only the default keyboard can be used.
And if not: How can i make the EditText field not accept any emojis from the user keyboard?
Thanks for your help!
Previously I had a problem to do with soft keyboard backspace on Android 4.4.3 and this only occurs on the device that uses the Android Keyboard (AOSP).
Backspace seems to not work when the view is currently in focus on a text box and when I tap on the right of the entered text in the text box, sometime backspace becomes disabled and you can't get it to work without having to refocus on the text box again.
But I seem to fix the issue by overriding the deleteSurroundingText() in my CustomInputConnection class as suggested in this post (Android: Backspace in WebView/BaseInputConnection) However, I discovered a problem which is caused by overriding the onCreateInputConnection method in the WebView, for some reason when putting focus on to an element with an input type set to number, it displays a Qwerty Keyboard rather than a number keyboard.
Any suggestions to why this is happening is much appreciated.
I would like to display Numberic keyboard to the user first even though my AutoCompleteTextView's input type is text.
I read this How do I default to numeric keyboard on EditText without forcing numeric input? question and tried to fix it. But it is only showing numeric keyboard. It won't allow me to input Text.
I would like to show first "numberic" input but also allow to enter "text" to AutoCompleteTextView. Any solution?

Users choose their input method editors, not applications. Allowing an app to change the keyboard would be a security flaw.
Try looking at InputType
