I wanted the keyboard that android have with the shortcuts to ".com" to an editText, and another for an email input with the "#".
I've tried different things like this:
email_edit.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_ADDRESS);
facebook_edit.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_WEB_EDIT_TEXT);
twitter_edit.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_URI);
but nothing works and the keyboard that appears is the normal one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
On your EditText you can set the input type:
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
In code you can use:
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

I need to open android text keyboard that starts from numpad. I would like to access both numpad and alphabetical characters in same keyboard like android:inputType="text". But, I want to see numpad part first (like in picture) when keyboard opened.
As far as I know, there is no InputType option that obtain this result.
I found this answer that shows how to use privateImeOptions to change soft keyboard settings but couldn't find further information.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks
I have an EditText control for currency input, however, as everybody knows, Android does not replace the decimal separator in the keyboard like the users locale.
So I'm thinking on creating a dialog to edit this value, like a calculator. This way I won't have an EditText, but a TextView with a numeric soft keyboard.
Do you know any numeric keyboard control that I can plug into my dialog? Or maybe a solution to this Android gap?
For similar problem, I used:
android:inputType="date"
in xml layout for EditText. This gave me a numeric soft keyboard like calculator. Hope this helps.
My application has two requirements where one screen is an numeric entry and other has an search option. Since user has to use the numeric keyboard most of the time he has to change the input type of edit text and select the keyboard. Is there any way i could start a numeric keyboard for one activity and charater keyboard when other activty starts
Sebs
hiii,,,
Use for the edit text that should open a numeric keypad with following property:
android:inputType="phone"
And android:imeOptions="actionSearch" for other activity Edit Text xml layout
Hope you would be able to get what I mean to convey

To just get a numeric keyboard the user should not have to longpress and choose input type. That would be only if they are trying to change which actual keyboard application they are using, for instance switching from Android Keyboard to Swype keyboard. All of the different configurations of keys are all part of each keyboard separately. So the Android keyboard contains a qwerty keyboard, a number keyboard (which has numbers across the top row and symbols on all the other keys) and a Number pad keyboard (9x9 block of numbers like the numpad on your PC, or an old telephone). To tell the system which you'd like to use you just have to specify the inputType for your EditText.
this page will show you possible types
this question will show you how to set it from xml
I have two keyboard installed- Swype and samsung. Is there any way I can force Android to show samsung keyboard on my EditText no matter what my setting is ??

I am developing an android application where we are using WebView to display Web page being served from Web Server. Everything is working fine except with the problem that when i am using the soft keyboard and switched to numeric key entry and move from first field to next field, the keyboard layout automatically changed to alphanumeric.
Is there any way using which i can pull up virtual keyboard in numeric mode only when i need to enter numbers only?
Thanks and Regards.
editTextField.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_QWERTY);
This shows the normal key pad with the numeric version first, yet allows you to switch between them.
getInput.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_12KEY);
This shows numeric only, with no option to enter text values.
I ran into a similar situation. I wanted numeric values only, but I have a "hint" that was text. Setting the inputType to number would not allow the hint to be displayed. This works around it fine.
Configuration.KEYBOARD_12KEY or Configuration.KEYBOARD_QWERTY is wrong way.
You have to use InputType (show doc here) on the EditText setRawInputType().
If you are talking about HTML, you could use HTML5 features, for example:
Number: <input type="number" name="points" min="1" max="10" />
Have tested this in HTC Desire browser, and it brings up different (numeric) keyboard when you enter data into such field.
Is there any way using which i can
pull up virtual keyboard in numeric
mode only when i need to enter numbers
only?
Yes, you can specify android:inputType XML attribute with the number or numberDecimal value:
<EditText
android:text=""
android:id="#+id/editTextNumber"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="numberDecimal">
</EditText>
Enjoy!!
