You can't control the keyboard layout, Keyboards may display different layouts based on the input type you provide with the input field. You'll just need to provide the correct android:inputType and let the Keyboard handle it for you.

Also as per the documentation, you can't mix classes together but classes may be combined with variations and flags to indicate desired behaviors. So setting inputType to number|text will not work and will only display a numeric keypad.

There are two tricks which might work on some Keyboards:

  1. Using the android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"

OR

  1. Hiding the suggestions bar using editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS)
