Android: Limiting EditText to numbers

Question

When creating an EditText in the java portion of the application, how do you limit it to numbers like you would in the xml? For example:

new EditText(this);         


        

Answer 1

this will usually do it:

android:numeric="integer"

Answer 2

Simply use the below lines in the xml file

To accept only Numbers put:

 android:inputType="number"

To limit the length of the input numbers:

android:maxLength="10"

To accept only specific numbers:

EX:1 The below line accept only 1 or 0.

android:digits="10"

EX:2 The below line accept only 2 or 3.

android:digits="23"

Answer 3

Something like this perhaps ?

EditText text = new EditText(this);
text.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL);

Answer 4

Use of android:numeric is deprecated, use android:inputType="number"

Answer 5

Go to the docs and look at the table with XML attributes. It shows you the code equivalent of each item.

In this case, it's setRawInputType.
