Apps EditText - getting the 10 key numeric virtual keypad

[Armaced]

I have been having some trouble. I have created an EditText field that should only receive numbers, but the virtual keypad always comes up in QWERTY mode (shifted to numbers) with the numbers across the top. A 10-key pad would be much more convenient.

Googling around, I found various properties I could give the EditText that should call the virtual 10-Key, (android:numeric="decimal", or android:inputType="numberDecimal") and they work on the virtual android device that Eclipse launches, but when I move the app to my Motorola Droid, I still get the QWERTY.

Here is a sample of one of my EditText fields. Can anyone help me out?

<EditText
android:id="@+id/txtOunceI"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:numeric="decimal"
android:inputType="numberDecimal"
android:layout_column="0"
android:layout_span="1"/>​

maybe

android:inputType="phone"

can help you? it produces a dialpad with numbers from 0 to 9.

Thank you. Actually, the upgrade to Froyo fixed the problem without any code change. Strange...

Armaced,

I'm trying to do the exact same thing, but I'm trying to target phones with a min sdk of 1.6. How would I go about getting my edittext to display the dialer/like soft keyboard??
