Apply inputType a editText

I need to apply an input Type a editText from Java. What I need is to provide the numeric keypad to enter a phone number. I can not apply the inputType in the xml layout because the editText is dynamically generated.

I tried it with:

editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE);

but it is not working properly, does not give me the numeric keypad.

Set property in XML like this: 

<EditText
  android:id="@+id/myNumber"
  android:digits="0123456789."
  android:inputType="numberDecimal"
/>

OR you can use: 

android:inputType="number"

For setting the input type for an EditText programatically you have to specify that input class type is text like:

editText.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL);
