How do you set the EditText keyboard to only consist of numbers on Android?
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 = "numberPassword"
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:
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..
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="number" />
I have tried every thing now try this one it shows other characters but you cant enter in the editText
edit.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_12KEY);
If you use Kotlin :
XML
android:inputType="numberPassword"
Code
editText.transformationMethod = null
result:
