Android custom numeric keyboard

  1. Use TableLayout to create the numeric keyboard layout.
  2. Bind View.OnClickListener on each custom key view to response user input.
  3. In responses, append or delete text to that password field which implements by EditText.You can use append() or setText() to control what will be filled in the password field.

I write a custom view for reusing in anywhere, here is the code:

KeyboardView.java

public class KeyboardView extends FrameLayout implements View.OnClickListener {

    private EditText mPasswordField;

    public KeyboardView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        init();
    }

    public KeyboardView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init();
    }

    public KeyboardView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
        init();
    }

    private void init() {
        inflate(getContext(), R.layout.keyboard, this);
        initViews();
    }

    private void initViews() {
        mPasswordField = $(R.id.password_field);
        $(R.id.t9_key_0).setOnClickListener(this);
        $(R.id.t9_key_1).setOnClickListener(this);
        $(R.id.t9_key_2).setOnClickListener(this);
        $(R.id.t9_key_3).setOnClickListener(this);
        $(R.id.t9_key_4).setOnClickListener(this);
        $(R.id.t9_key_5).setOnClickListener(this);
        $(R.id.t9_key_6).setOnClickListener(this);
        $(R.id.t9_key_7).setOnClickListener(this);
        $(R.id.t9_key_8).setOnClickListener(this);
        $(R.id.t9_key_9).setOnClickListener(this);
        $(R.id.t9_key_clear).setOnClickListener(this);
        $(R.id.t9_key_backspace).setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // handle number button click
        if (v.getTag() != null && "number_button".equals(v.getTag())) {
            mPasswordField.append(((TextView) v).getText());
            return;
        }
        switch (v.getId()) {
            case R.id.t9_key_clear: { // handle clear button
                mPasswordField.setText(null);
            }
            break;
            case R.id.t9_key_backspace: { // handle backspace button
                // delete one character
                Editable editable = mPasswordField.getText();
                int charCount = editable.length();
                if (charCount > 0) {
                    editable.delete(charCount - 1, charCount);
                }
            }
            break;
        }
    }

    public String getInputText() {
        return mPasswordField.getText().toString();
    }

    protected <T extends View> T $(@IdRes int id) {
        return (T) super.findViewById(id);
    }
}

Use the custom KeyboardView in your layout :

<com.xxx.yyy.KeyboardView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Old answer:

The keyboard layout code looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
