Question

We use

InputMethodManager imPharamcy = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imPharamcy .toggleSoftInput(0, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

to get the keyboard forcefully.
But the keyboard is not numbers only keyboard.
How do i get numbers only keyboard using inputMethod Manager.

In xml i have already given

   android:inputType="phone"
   android:imeOptions="actionNext"              

the editText takes numbers only
Strangely in the emulator a number only keypad comes up but on a phone numbers and special charaters keypad comes

Answer 1

See below code:

    // TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER: Class for numeric text. This displays the numbers/symbols keyboard.
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

// TYPE_CLASS_PHONE: Class for a phone number. This displays the phone number keypad.
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE);

Hope you got the point.
