You may add the following attribute to your EditText in xml.
android:inputType="text|number"
However, some of the characters you input will not be appear - those which conflict with type number, like # = ! etc.
And in order to get search button (on bottom-right) in your virtual-keyboard, you may use:
android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
Update
Add the following to your EditText's xml and it will get you all the characters available in the keyboard under number inputmode:
android:inputType="number"
android:digits="0123456789.##$&*-=()!"':;/?"
If you want to support more characters then simply append their html name in android:digits.
Try this:
<EditText
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:inputType="PutHereNestedInputType"
/>

Hope it's help.

is there any way to convert text to star '*' especially passwords when we type text in Edit Text filed .
Add the following to your EditText XML
android:inputType="textPassword"
EditText has the built in attribute android:inputType which allows you to set the type of input that the the field is accepting.
For instance if you set it to android:inputType="phone" then the keyboard will only display characters related to making a phonecall.
You can also set it to android:inputType="textPassword" which will then cause the field to automatically take care of obscuring the input when the user types into it.
You can find more detail in the official documentation here and here
Number suggestions pop up when you tap at edittext. Is there a way to receive input as number but at the same time prevent number suggestions from displaying?
I have found something similar like this. but it accepts text not numbers!
Turn off autosuggest for EditText?
below are not working since it only accepts texts and then removes suggestions.
android:inputType="textFilter"
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
I have tried
android:inputType="number|textNoSuggestions"
It results to accepting non-numeric symbols and does not remove suggestions either.
Android O has the feature to support Auto-filling for fields,Just only use this in your xml, It will disable autofill hints

I have an EditText with "textPassword" inputType in my app and I tried to set a non-english password but the inputType didn't allow me to choose another language.
Maybe my app users prefer to set a persian password.
See The Picture, Please
Any Ideas?
inputType is considered as a hint to the keyboard app on how to treat a specific text-field, even if some keyboards do allow non-english passwords, you can't count on all keyboard apps to behave like that.
Instead of using the inputType, set the password field to true, this will cause the characters to be hidden from the screen, but will allow you to get any input, you should probably also turn off suggestions (using the inputType field):
<EditText
android:id="#+id/password"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="text|textShortMessage|textNoSuggestions"
android:password="true"/>
UPDATE
You can create a plain EditText with some textual inputType, and just set the characters to appear as dots instead of plain text:
EditText passwordView = (EditText) layout.findViewById(R.id.password);
passwordView.setTransformationMethod(PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance());
I use an EditText in my code and compare its content to a string when clicking on a button.
Unfortunately doing this with the enter key through onKey causes problems because enter creates a
line break.
I used:
setSingleLine(true);
to prevent this. But now pressing enter leads to the EditText losing its focus.
Why does it behave like this and how do I fix it?
Try using this android:lines="1" in your layout xml for EditText.
This will consider the Enter Key as new line and focus will not loose. Although existing text might not be visible due to only one line, as it moved upword and get hidden.
Set the EditText as the next focus of itself:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/input"
...
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:nextFocusForward="#+id/input"
android:singleLine="true" />
How can I enable/switch to the internet based keyboard instead of the traditional keyboard? I'm trying to display the one which includes the little .com button when the keyboard is displayed after the user clicks a text field.
Thanks in advance!

It a property of the editText object. You need to set the Input Type, documentation about the Input Type is found here.
You can set the input type either in your layout XML by
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:inputType="textUri"
OR
You can set using setInputType method for editText
