Is there any way to dynamically change the soft input keyboard type? Like there is a button in the keypad by which we can switch between numeric or alpha keyboard. Can I provide the function programaticaly? What I want to do is to show the number keyboard when user clicks an edit text, and then goes to normal keyboard if he press space.
I didn't try that but you can try setting the inputType of the editText to number, and set a text chage listener, that will wait for space. when it gets a space it changes the input type to text. read here

I need to provide an option for the user to switch to AlphaNumeric Keyboard from the Numeric keyboard below, i was thinking can i make use of the empty keys in the numeric Keyboard and customize it with say abc so it can switch to alphanumeric keyboard.
Unless you want to make your own implementation of a keyboard, the only way to control it's appearance is via the InputType of your EditText.
You simply can't modify any buttons of the system keyboard. It will look different depending on the manufacturer anyways.
Here's what you could do:
Change the InputType (for the EditText that needs alphanumeric input or via a toggle button or...)
Implement your own keyboard for your specific needs
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?

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
