EditText input numbers as password style on Android

I am currently developing an App for Android. I am creating an Alert Dialog with input boxes and I need the input boxes to be numbers only but as a password input. How can I do this google isn't finding me anything only one or the other. This needs to be done programatically not using XML

In your xml 

<EditText
android:id="@+id/EditText01"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:password="true"
android:digits="1234567890" 
android:inputType="number"/>

the digits part makes it so you can't use symbols or any other characters, and this ensures that ONLY numbers will be entered. using the inputType="phone" method, parentheses and pound signs can still be entered

Set the input type of your Edittext with setInputType(TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_PASSWORD). More info here. It seems it's only available from Honeycomb
