  • no this is not correct – Clinton Eagle Aug 28 '20 at 12:01
  • What do you want to happen if the user starts by typing numbers, but intends to add letters as well? – Gavin Wright Aug 28 '20 at 13:44

  • Then you should get rid of the `inputType` attribute so the user can type whatever they want. Then, when they hit the Submit button or whatever it is, you validate the input in the `EditText` manually. Or add a `TextWatcher` to the `EditText` to validate the input as they type and [display an error](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18225365/show-error-on-the-tip-of-the-edit-text-android) if the user's input is invalid. – Gavin Wright Aug 29 '20 at 09:10

  • @ClintonEagle Right, I gave you two ways of doing that. But you can't do it with `inputType`. – Gavin Wright Aug 31 '20 at 08:07
  • What have you tried? What didn't work? What did you get? What did you expect? What doesn't work with your code and where is it? – Toto Aug 31 '20 at 08:57
