based on the answer on this question Enforcing Input Method of Edit Text i have read the it is not possible to use a specific key board for an edit text but is it possible to cancel the use keyboard or to disable pop up keyboard when the user clicks on an edit text. i have this edit text and i want to enter numeric values and i have a custom made numeric keypad pad below the edit i put it in the numbers 0 - 9 in a button so that when i click on the edit text box the cursor will appear on the text and then i have to click on the button to input the value of that specific button on the edit text. I've been looking for solution for some time now but i can seem to find the solution.
