Solution 1 - Android

You can configure an inputType for your EditText:

<EditText android:inputType="number" ... />

Solution 2 - Android

To do it in a Java file:

EditText input = new EditText(this);
input.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

Solution 3 - Android

I found this implementation useful, shows a better keyboard and limits input chars.

<EditText
    android:inputType="phone"
    android:digits="1234567890"
    ...
/>

Additionally, you could use android:maxLength to limit the max amount of numbers.

To do this programmatically:

editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE);

KeyListener keyListener = DigitsKeyListener.getInstance("1234567890");
editText.setKeyListener(keyListener);

Solution 4 - Android

<EditText
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    ...
    android:inputType="number|phone"/>

will show the large number pad as dialer.

Solution 5 - Android

You can do it 2 ways

Runtime set

EditText input = new EditText(this);
input.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

Using XML

<EditText
    ...
    android:inputType="number" />

Solution 6 - Android

If you need fractional number, then this is the answer for you:

android:inputType="numberDecimal"

Solution 7 - Android

If you are using your EditText in Dialog or creating dynamically and You can't set it from xml then this example will help you in setting that type of key board while you are using dynamic Edit Text etc

myEditTxt.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

where myEditTxt is the dynamic EDIT TEXT object(name)

Solution 8 - Android

editText.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

Solution 9 - Android

Use the below code in java file

> editText.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_QWERTY);

Solution 10 - Android

Below code will only allow numbers "0123456789”, even if you accidentally type other than "0123456789”, edit text will not accept.

    EditText number1 = (EditText) layout.findViewById(R.id.edittext); 
    number1.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER|InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE);
    number1.setKeyListener(DigitsKeyListener.getInstance("0123456789”));

Solution 11 - Android

More input types and details found here on google website

Solution 12 - Android

Define this in your xml code

android:inputType="number"

Solution 13 - Android

EditText number1 = (EditText) layout.findViewById(R.id.edittext); 
number1.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
