I have an EditText for math expressions and want the default number keyboard to pop up

I have an EditText with inputType = text, because a math expression can be entered.
I would like to have a keyboard that shows numbers along with +, %, - and *.
Not sure what that kind of keyboard is called.
Is there a way for me to set it up without having to change inputType to number.
Thanks!

AndroidDoc Use the inputType numberDecimal|numberSigned for calculator

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editText1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:ems="10"
    android:inputType="numberDecimal|numberSigned" >

</EditText>

Try setting input type to your EditText

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

EDIT

There's another option for better customization here
