How to make custom Text Input type Android

I need the user to enter text in a Edit Text with custom keyboard options. That is, I need the keypad to show only "S","A","B","C","D","E" and "F" characters. Is it possible to implement this?

Much easier solution is to add digit parameter in xml definition of EditText like following:

android:digits="SABCDEF"
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"

Shown keyboard will have all characters but when user try to enter any of not allowed that will be ignored.

Hope this helps

Edit: textNosuggestions to textNoSuggestions
