I'm using a webview to allow users to login. Since the site requires a numeric password, I'd like the webview to pop up the numeric keypad, but also hide the input characters. I know that if you specify an HTML input type = "number" it will pop up the numeric keypad. In addition, if you specify the HTML input type = "password" it will hide the input characters.
However, in this case, I need to do both (ie. pop open the numeric keyboard AND hide the input characters). I know that if I were using a native screen, I could specify an EditText field of type "numeric password", however, I'm using a webview, so I don't believe this is available.
Any suggestions here?
You can make it "password type", with hint for user that just numeric passwords will be accepted. When user enter password, you check from code is it numeric, in case it isn't you can show dialog that entered password doesn't satisfies criteria and make user enter valid one.
is it acceptable for your situation?

I'm trying to create a EditText input in Android Studio where the user enters a serial number, which is formatted as:
123456-78
What I'd like to do is make it so the user doesn't have to type the '-' character, and it is already displayed in the input field as they're typing. How can I achieve that?
Short and sweet: I have no idea what the difference between textVisiblePassword and text is, in regards to inputType on an EditText. According to the docs, textVisiblePassword is "text that is a password that should be visible", where password is unhelpfully "text that is a password".
What's the diff? Why use textVisiblePassword?
Using textVisiblePassword type explicilty tells software keyboard, that content of this field should not be added to any vocabulary, synchronized through network, added to usage statistics or anything like this. It still makes sense to use it for sensitive data, like logins - not exactly secret, but nothing you would share.
when we setup textPassword input type on edit text. textVisiblePassword inputtype is used when we want to have show password option. This option will make the password readable whereas text inputtype won't do this
This is separate from whether the app has requested an editor action: usually the editor action is displayed as a replacement for the enter key, but it's possible for an input method to offer both as alternatives.
The simple answer is, of course, "when it's possible to enter a newline". When a TextView is in single-line mode, it's not possible to enter a newline even if the keyboard shows a key: as I found in this answer, Android itself treats the key as an editor action and substitutes a zero-width space for any newlines added to the TextView.
How can the input method tell whether newlines will be respected, or otherwise whether it's appropriate to show an enter key (as an alternative to any specified editor action)?
Your best bet would be to check the EditorInfo object returned using the getCurrentInputEditorInfo() and take a best guess if showing the Enter key is apt or not.
I have an EditText-Object in my Android App where the user can input a "street number". Because street number may also consit of characters, character input should not be disabled at all, rather it numeric input should just be preselected and if the user wants he can also switch to character input.
Until now I could not find any combination of Flags using
editText.setInputType(...);
Possible allowed entries in the EditText would be:
23a-26b
This always disallows some other input type, but what I want is just a preselected inputType.
Any ideas?
