You may add the following attribute to your EditText in xml.

android:inputType="text|number"

However, some of the characters you input will not be appear - those which conflict with type number, like @ = ! etc.

And in order to get search button (on bottom-right) in your virtual-keyboard, you may use:

android:imeOptions="actionSearch"

Update Add the following to your EditText's xml and it will get you all the characters available in the keyboard under number inputmode:

android:inputType="number"
android:digits="0123456789.@#$&amp;*-=()!&quot;':;/?"

If you want to support more characters then simply append their html name in android:digits.

exactly what type of input do you want? numeric only? – waqaslam Apr 15 '13 at 15:00
Not numeric only. Numerics on the top and the possibility to switch to symbols and letters – Festus Tamakloe Apr 15 '13 at 15:05
See my updated answer. It will get you numeric and characters. – waqaslam Apr 15 '13 at 15:41
are you using stock keyboard or a custom one? because the implementation may vary among them. At my side(on emulator), it exactly works as expected. – waqaslam Apr 15 '13 at 19:00
it does show alphabetic keyboard if selected, but doesnt allow to insert such characters – waqaslam Apr 15 '13 at 19:02
i'am using the stock keyboard one – Festus Tamakloe Apr 15 '13 at 20:59
