Question

I need a super easy to use way for my users to enter phone and email information. Is there a sample of a good way to do this? I think many apps would benefit, regular EditText is way to cumbersome for user to enter such common information. Its partly validation but partly just providing a super easy way to enter this information. Thanks

Androider… The following xml will launch the appropriate soft keyboard for phones and email.

<EditText android:id="@+id/EditTextSMSPhoneNumber" 
android:text="@string/edit_text_sms_phone_number" 
android:inputType= "phone"
android:hint= "@string/edit_text_sms_phone_number_hint"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</EditText>

android:inputType= "textEmailAddress"

This may or not be helpful to you.
