How do you set the EditText keyboard to only consist of numbers on Android

Question

I want my EditText to display a keyboard that ONLY has numbers visible  no other characters  I have tested with all available inputs and it doesn t work  I searched for a way to get a keyboard that only has numbers but I have only seen references to  android  inputType    quot numberPassword quot   But I want the numbers to be visible  like this   numberPassword   I have tried with  android digits  quot 0123456789 quot  android inputType  quot phone quot   and android inputType  quot number quot   but it appears like this

For the EditText if we specify   android inputType  number    only numbers can be got  But if you use   android inputType  phone    along with the numbers it can accept special characters like       etc

android inputType  number  or android inputType  phone   You can keep this  You will get the keyboard containing numbers  For further details on different types of keyboard  check this link   I think it is possible only if you create your own soft keyboard  Or try this android inputType  number textVisiblePassword  But it still shows other characters  Besides you can keep android digits  0123456789  to allow only numbers in your edittext  Or if you still want the same as in image  try combining two or more features with   separator and check your luck  but as per my knowledge you have to create your own keypad to get exactly like that

After several tries  I got it  I m setting the keyboard values programmatically like this  myEditText setInputType InputType TYPE CLASS NUMBER   InputType TYPE NUMBER VARIATION PASSWORD    Or if you want you can edit the XML like so  android  inputType    quot numberPassword quot   Both configs will display password bullets  so we need to create a custom ClickableSpan class  private class NumericKeyBoardTransformationMethod extends PasswordTransformationMethod        Override     public CharSequence getTransformation CharSequence source  View view            return source           Finally we need to implement it on the EditText in order to display the characters typed  myEditText setTransformationMethod new NumericKeyBoardTransformationMethod      This is how my keyboard looks like now

I think you used somehow the right way to show the number only on the keyboard so better try the given line with xml in your edit text and it will work perfectly so here the code is-    android inputType  number    In case any doubt you can again ask to me i ll try to completely sort out your problem  Thanks

If you want to show just numbers without characters  put this line of code inside your XML file android inputType  quot number quot   The output   If you want to show a number keyboard that also shows characters  put  android inputType  quot phone quot  on your XML  The output  with characters    And if you want to show a number keyboard that masks your input just like a password  put android inputType  quot numberpassword quot   The output   I m really sorry if I only post the links of the screenshot  I want to do research on how to do really post images here but it might consume my time so here it is  I hope my post can help other people  Yes  my answer is duplicate with other answers posted here but to save other people s time that they might need to run their code before seeing the output  my post might save you some time
