How to create a top numeric bar on your Android keyboard

Question

Does anyone know how to create in Edittext XML that number bar on the keyboard?

Answer 1

This bar appears when you arrow inputType as textPassword, but this will depend on the Android keyboard. If you want to use for an editText with visible text, you can use a textVisiblePassword.

<EditText
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/editText"
    android:hint="Search"
    android:inputType="textPassword" />

or

<EditText
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/editText"
    android:hint="Search"
    android:inputType="textVisiblePassword" />

Answer 2

You can set up a inputType for your EditText:

<EditText
    ...
    android:inputType="textPassword|number" ... />

Answer 3

One option is to use a custom keyboard and add to your project. As far as I know you will not achieve this with the standard Android keyboard, because there are no options on android:inputType that satisfy what you need.
