soft Keyboard automatically changes from numeric to alphanumeric in Android 7 - android

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"

Disable virtual Keyboard - how to allow the default keyboard only?

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!

Focus on an element with a number input type displays a qwerty keyboard rather than a numeric keyboard

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.

Show numeric keyboard first when input type is "text"

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?
Edit
I am using Galaxy Tab 2 with 4.0.4 OS Version
When screen launch, following keyboard appears.
But I want to switch keyboard to "numeric" input (which appears when we press "123" button)

How to set default keyboard for EditText

If I have set android keyboard as default in keyboard setting and I clicked in EditText in my application then I am getting keyboard in english. But in my application there is an edittext to enter username. I need to show japanese soft keyboard. How to achieve this? I can long click on the edit text and set the input type as Japanese IME. can I do this programmetically without setting keyboard type explicitly? How to set default keyboard type for any particular EditText.
Users choose their input method editors, not applications. Allowing an app to change the keyboard would be a security flaw.
Try looking at InputType
