For example    lt EditText android id    id myNumber  android digits  0123456789   android inputType  numberDecimal    gt

For only digits input use android inputType  numberPassword  along with editText setTransformationMethod null   to remove auto-hiding of the number    OR   android inputType  phone   For only digits input  I feel these couple ways are better than android inputType  number   The limitation of mentioning  number  as inputType is that the keyboard allows to switch over to characters and also lets other special characters be entered   numberPassword  inputType doesn t have those issues as the keyboard only shows digits  Even  phone  inputType works as the keyboard doesnt allow you to switch over to characters  But you can still enter couple special characters like       N  etc    android inputType  numberPassword  with editText setTransformationMethod null       inputType  phone     inputType  number

Try the following code  Edittext name setKeyListener DigitsKeyListener getInstance  quot 0123456789 quot      It will allow you to enter just numbers  You cannot enter chars  if you want to enter chars  not numbers  you can edit the values between the quotes inside getInstance

I don t know what the correct answer was in  13  but today it is    myEditText setKeyListener DigitsKeyListener getInstance null  false  true         positive decimal numbers  You get everything  including the onscreen keyboard is a numeric keypad   ALMOST everything  Espresso  in its infinite wisdom  lets typeText        inexplicably bypass the filter and enter garbage

I need to catch pressing Enter on a keyboard with TextWatcher  But I found out that all numeric keyboards android inputType  number  or  numberDecimal  or  numberPassword  e t c  don t allow me to catch Enter when user press it   I tried android digits  0123456789 n  and all numeric keyboards started to work with Enter and TextWatcher   So my way is   android digits  0123456789 n  android inputType  numberPassword    plus editText setTransformationMethod null   Thanks to barmaley and abhiank
