Question

how can i add the “setInputType” propety to an EditTextPreference (my goal is to set the input type to numbers only), i’ve tried:

editTextPref.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

but this only seems to work for EditTexts, not EditTextPreferences

Answer 1

You can retrieve the EditText from the Preference and from there setInputTypes or use KeyListeners to inform the keyboard:

EditText et = (EditText) editTextPref.getEditText();
et.setKeyListener(DigitsKeyListener.getInstance());
