How to Set Edittext to Only Accept Numeric Values in Android

How do you set the EditText keyboard to only consist of numbers on Android?

After several tries, I got it!
I'm setting the keyboard values programmatically like this:

myEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_PASSWORD);

Or if you want you can edit the XML like so:

android: inputType = "numberPassword"

Both configs will display password bullets, so we need to create a custom ClickableSpan class:

private class NumericKeyBoardTransformationMethod extends PasswordTransformationMethod {
    @Override
    public CharSequence getTransformation(CharSequence source, View view) {
        return source;
    }
}

Finally we need to implement it on the EditText in order to display the characters typed.

myEditText.setTransformationMethod(new NumericKeyBoardTransformationMethod());

This is how my keyboard looks like now:

It seems to work well with this configuration:

android:digits="0123456789"
android:inputType="phone"

That's a good enough workaround for me.

Or more specifically use:

android:inputType="numberDecimal"
android:digits="0123456789"

since you want to limit the input to a port number only.

How to use an editText only for numbers

The type in XML is EditText not Number so use Editext as

EditText editText = (EditText) v.findViewById(R.id.editText);

For Number use inputType

android:inputType="number" 

e.g

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="number" />

You can also use android:digits to use specific digit(s)
