inputType = "number|text" not working - Android

I am using inputType = "number|text" inside TextInputEditText when I focus on this, It lets me type number only, It allows to navigate to text keyboard but not letting me type text.
Here is the code snippet:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/availableRoof"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/radio_groupPcOfInstltion"
android:visibility="visible">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/avlbleRoofTextField"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Available Roof/Ground Area(sq.ft.)"
android:inputType="number|text"
android:text=""
android:textSize="13sp" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Please suggest a solution, so that I can type text and number both.

Just use input type text for getting the all possible options and textVisiblePassword for removing the suggestion and show number in one keyboard.
android:inputType="text"
OR
android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"

You need to set the inputType as text, so that you can easily enter text as well as numbers in the TextInputEditText.
Use: android:inputType="text"

Try adding these properties:
android:digits="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890"
android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"

Add numeric keyboard in android

It's possible to set or add numeric keyboard without +, -, . sign in android app?
I want only 0-9, backspace and enter keys?
I tried with
inputType="number"
setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER)
but it doesn't work.

Try to add this line on your code:
input.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_12KEY);
this will show only the numeric keyboard.

android:inputType="number"
Just use this line your XML file
For Example In my Edit Text
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edtMobileNo"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/btnSignup"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#drawable/background_edittext"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/username_icon"
android:hint="#string/mobile_no_hint"
android:inputType="number"
android:maxLength="10"
/>

Setting inputType textFilter and textPassword stops displaying as password dots instead of themselves

I have been trying to restrict the password field with a set of characters. So tried to use the textFilter and done it. When i set inputType textFilter and textPassword, it stops displaying as password dots and shows the text that i type in the Editext. When i remove the textFilter, then characters of the field are displayed as password dots instead of themselves.
This is the snippet in used in my XML resource
main.xml
<EditText android:id="#+id/password" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="2.0dip" android:singleLine="true"
android:scrollHorizontally="true" android:inputType="textPassword|textFilter"
android:hint="#string/input_field_here" android:digits="#string/only_alpha_numeric"></EditText>
string.xml
<string name="only_alpha_numeric">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/>
Please let me know , is there any possible way to achieve my desired result ?
Thanks

Hi use following lines in xml file . From this you can keep the textFilter property as well as password hint property too.. hope this will help you a lot.
android:password="true"
android:inputType="textFilter"

Warning on EditText

I'm trying to define an EditText but this warning is shown:
This text field does not specify an inputType or a hint.
The code in main.xml is:
<EditText android:id="#+id/input"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/textTest" />
How can I fix it?

You could add a hint :
android:hint="This will appear to the user if he didn't enter something yet in the EditText"
and a inputType so you could present to the user a better suited soft keyboard for the text he is suposed to enter in the EditText:
android:inputType="number"
will present a soft keyboard with only numbers and various signs.
Those are just warnings, you could ignore them but is better for the user to implement them.

<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="text"
>
I think You should add input type.......

This is a known issue. Sometimes it doest work with changing to:
android:inputType="text"
I got it to work by setting:
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
Hope this helps

Above all are the solutions but before that you should understand what does that warnig mean.
Hint:- Hint is the text shown to user before writing anything over.
For eg. if you are putting a edittext where you want user to add his
name then you can write
<Edittext
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:hint="Enter Name"/>
Input Type:- This is the xml tag that is to be used within edittext to let edittext to follow that particular restriction. if you are giving inputtype:number then user would be able to enter only numbers. There are several input type fields are there for that you can refer official developer site.

How to remove the underline from the EditText field in Android?

Whenever a word is typed in the EditText box, I always see an underline under the word being typed. But when I press a space after that word I no longer see the underline.
My reqirement is to remove that underline when the user is typing the message.
Added is the screenshot and we see that Smith is underlined. But I don't want this to happen.
Below is the xml that I use for the AlertDialog box.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/name_view"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dip"
android:layout_marginRight="20dip"
android:text="#string/alert_dialog_name"
android:gravity="left"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/username_edit"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dip"
android:layout_marginRight="20dip"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:autoText="false"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:capitalize="none"
android:gravity="fill_horizontal"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</LinearLayout>

android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"

There is a function that removes any composing state. I think if you call it after every time a user types, you will not see the underline. I use it after the user finishes typing, to get the drawing cache of the entire textView (which I need without underline). It's
someTextView.clearComposingText();

You don't have to use any logic to remove the underlines -- just call getText().toString() when you want to use the value. It won't include special formatting or anything.

accepted answer is not given solution, and some other user given answer but no one given full anser, so that's why i write here working solution.
If you want to remove underline then just add below code.
XML
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
Java
EditText ed;
ed = findViewById(yourId);
ed.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
If you want to set more than one input type then,
ed.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
May be above information is helpful to others.

The best solution for this is to add on your EditText:
android:inputType="textMultiLine|textVisiblePassword"

Use this from your class, if EditText view is dynamic (created from class file):
EditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
OR include android:inputType="textNoSuggestions" with your EditText in XML.

Read this if you want to keep emojis and textNoSuggestions doesn't work for you.
textNoSuggestions does not work in every keyboard.
inputType="textVisiblePassword" works but it removes emoji's from most keyboards.
I found that setting inputType="textUri" works and keeps the ability to add emojis.

try:
android:inputType= InputTypes.TextVariationVisiblePassword;

<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#null"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
android:maxLines="1"
/>
