I am a beginner with android development, and I was wondering if it is possible to make it so that when the user touches the EditText, no keyboard pops up. I want this because I have created buttons that correspond to numbers, so when they touch the button, a 1 will appear in the edittext.
You should use a spinner (http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-spinner.html) with all your numbers loaded from an array resource.
Any way, if you don't want to edit your EditText you could set editable to false on the XML layout.
android:editable="false"

I have hardkey dialpad through which I want to enter number as well as alphabets, like a old dial pad mobile phone.
Now I want is, that when I enter text in edittext, a small keyboard or fragment should pop up showing all options possible right next to the edit text.
For ex. if I press 2, it should show |2|A|B|C| right next to edit text.
Any ideas on how to implement this?
I found a solution.
I declared a Linear Layout in my activity_main.xml
after doing that I programatically add required buttons to a dynamically created view and then add that view to the original layout dynamically, along with moving it with the cursor.
That solves my problem
My problem consistis in the second time the keyboard shows up on the SAME EditText.
I have many EditTexts inside a ListView, inside a Dialog, and the keyboard is set to ADJUST PAN. So far it is working fine, but when my list is bigger than the device screen and the EditText from last row is touched in first time the keyboard shows up and cover the layout correctly. But if I hide the keyboard from it native button to hide and click on the same EditText again the keyboard shows up and cover the layout and the Edittext, instead of covering and pushing to keep showing the EditText as the first time.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
I want to write only integer types in EditText but when I click on EditText it opens the Normal keyboard, but I only need a keyboard with numbers while I am doing this (all in Dialog box).
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Add this to your edittext xml
android:inputType="number"
For more info see this
EDIT:
for programmatically setting this
yourEdittext.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

How can i set the keyboard coordination.
If you are using your custom Keyboard you Can't locate it at your desired position. By Default it will appears at the Bottom only.
So you can try with Custom Pop up window , Another Post for your requirement.
You can try with Quick Action Dialog for you requirement

I'm attempting to replicate on android an iphone app my company had developed externally.
My need is simple but it seems hard to achieve under android. I have three numeric edittext inputs. Each should take only decimal numeric values. So numbers 0-9 and "." or ",". On the iphone this was achieved by a slide in calculator style keypad with one of the buttons a "GO" button that when pressed hides the keypad and, if all the inputs have valid values triggers a calculation that displays values on the screen.
I've tried the android phone input type and this is very close to what I want but I have no idea how to replicate the go button. I have put a calculate button on the main interface itself but I can't get the keyboard to go again once it is opened.
So can I either
A. Modify the layout of the phone keypad in some way to change one of the buttons to be
GO (Calculate) and intercept the keypress or
B. Do I have to create my own keypad in which case how do I go about sliding it in and out
over the top of the current view?
thanks guys
See android:imeActionId and android:imeActionLabel for your GO button.
