See below code:

    // TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER: Class for numeric text. This displays the numbers/symbols keyboard.
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

// TYPE_CLASS_PHONE: Class for a phone number. This displays the phone number keypad.
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE);

Hope you got the point.

That wasn't the question. The question was how to get numbers only keyboard using `InputMethodManager` class, not the `TextView`. I need this for a Cordova app, where the WebView prevents keyboard from showing on focus and I need to force it to show using a plugin. Since it's a WebView and now a textbox, I need to use the `InputMethodManager` only, there are no TextViews to play with. – Mr. TA Jun 01 '16 at 22:32
