lock android keyboard to only show numerics

I have an android app that uses an EditText with android:inputType="number"
when the edittext first displays the softkeyboard appears with only numerics enabled (you can still see the other keys though. The EditText also has android:digits="0123456789\n" as I want the users to be able to enter multiple lines
As soon as I hit the ENTER key to create another line the numeric keys disappear.
How can I...
a). Only show a numeric keyboard (with Enter key) e.g. just 0123456789?
b). Stop the softkeyboard showing all the other keys?

Try this

editTextField.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_QWERTY);

This shows the normal key pad with the numeric version first, yet allows you to switch between them.

getInput.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_12KEY);

You want a multiline EditText and numeric keyboard? Seems possible, but deprecated. Check out this answer.

Update: If everything fails, try to enforce the numeric type every time a line break is inserted:

editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

Found a solution
by employing
android:digits="0123456789\n"
android:inputType="phone|textMultiLine"
I obtain the desired effect.
