Have you given `android:inputType="textEmailAddress"` to your `EditText`'s xml part. — Praveenkumar, Jun 26 '12 at 09:18

Add this to your layout:

android:inputType="textEmailAddress"

That works if you can set it in your layout. But if you need to *programatically* change the keyboard to this type (i.e. with a toggle-button), SK's answer below is the solution. – JosephK Oct 23 '14 at 07:46
@JosephK what is the reason for dynamically changing inputType for email EditText? :) – agamov Oct 23 '14 at 07:57

I had a client request we put a button in to toggle the keyboard from number-pad to email-entry - specific type of number-pad and specific type of alpha (with the @ sign). – JosephK Oct 24 '14 at 01:32

Well I found the solution which is to use

emailEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

In Kotlin way:

email_field.valueEditText.inputType = InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT or InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_ADDRESS
