hey you might added the below line in EditText xml

android:digits="0123456789"

if so remove and add the below line in the xml it works fine

android:inputType="number"

Check once, as per you question that might be the only problem. if you inputType = number then it never opens alphabets keyboard

Try this

EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput((editText), InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

Just inputType = "number" in xml layout file:

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