I want to type only letters on the keyboard, no numbers, I used this method and it doesn't work, why? 

                <EditText
                android:id="@+id/name"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:inputType="textPersonName" />

  • I saw that answers but I thought that is another way – Kornel Litwinow Apr 24 '20 at 08:41
  • Why do you think that that should prevent numbers? Are you assuming that no one has numbers in their name? – Mike M. Apr 24 '20 at 08:45
  • I think yes, who has numbers in name? – Kornel Litwinow Apr 24 '20 at 08:47

You can use 

<EditText
  android:id="@+id/name"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:digits="qwertzuiopasdfghjklyxcvbnmQWERTZUIOPASDFGHJKLYXCVBNM"
/>

need to test though
