Question

How to make EditText accept only numbers.?

Answer 1

Use android:inputType="number" in your XML layout

Answer 2

This also works great:

 android:digits="0123456789" 

Answer 3

Or you can add the following:

 yourEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED); 

this will take numbers, floating point numbers and negative numbers you can remove any of them if necessary

Answer 4

You can use android:inputType="number" in the XML file. You can also specify other values, such as numberDecimal.

Alternatively, you can optionally use android:singleLine="true" for a single line of Edittext .

Also check out android:numeric and android:maxLength . maxLength in particular can be useful for setting length limits.
