Number keyboard not showing on Android app

I'm trying to implement a number-only EditText field in my app (Android API 23), meaning that I want the number-only keyboard to show-up when the user enters into it.

To do this I have tried setting these attributes on the EditText field...

android:inputType="number"

android:digits="1234567890"

and 

android:inputType="phone"

android:digits="1234567890"

but this still brings up the full keyboard.

Any ideas why this is happening?

I'm testing on a Nexus 5x (Android 6.0.1) with the default keyboard

You can handle this programatically. Try doing: 

inputType = TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER

or

inputType = TYPE_NUMBER_PHONE

The first one is for number only. The second is for numbers who have the phone number format.

Problem is I had the EditText inside a ListView. Which is problematic for some reason.
I fixed it by setting the ListView like this

<ListView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
    android:focusable="false" />

This helped me lead to the answer EditText inside ListView will not stay focused

Try this.

   <EditText
    android:digits="0123456789"
    android:inputType="numberDecimal"
    />
