On a new page (many pages actually) in my app, I want the numeric keyboard to be always on, is this possible?, instead of making individual buttons for each number.

You can set it per field, I don't know if you can set it as default though

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

  • I have done that, but I want it to be shown without having to click on an edit text item (textbox). – nh1402 Jul 28 '12 at 18:09

    @user1130327 try calling requestFocus() on your EditText inside your onCreate() method. – FoamyGuy Jul 28 '12 at 18:15

    @user1130327 also see [This question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5593053/open-soft-keyboard-programmatically). The second answer seems to indicate that it will show the soft keyboard upon starting an Activity. – FoamyGuy Jul 28 '12 at 18:17
