Android multiline number edittext

Question

I want to create an EditText in Android which has several lines and number input. It is for the input of a matrix. I already have a solution to set android:inputType="textMultiLine" and then setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_12KEY) . However, this does not work when editing the edittext in horizontal orientation and it also does not show the slash ( / ) which I need to input fractions. If I set the input type to setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER) , it also does not work in horizontal orientation and always after I enter a space, it switches to the normal input keyboard. Do you know any solution which would help me?

Answer 1

In this way could be created multiline EditText which allow only numbers and has digit keyboard

   <EditText

                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:digits="0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,/"
                android:inputType="textMultiLine|phone" />

Answer 2

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:digits="0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,\n"

Answer 3

Try this

 <EditText 
      android:inputType="textMultiLine" 
      android:digits="0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,/" 
      android:hint="Only letters, / allowed"/>

Answer 4

Try it, i use this for Edittext with multiline number

android:singleLine="false"
android:digits="0123456789"

Answer 5

It will be:

   <EditText
        android:inputType="textMultiLine|number"
        android:singleLine="false" 
        android:digits= "0123456789" />

Not:

   <EditText
        android:inputType="textMultiLine|number"
        android:singleLine="false"
        android:digits= "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9" />

If you put comma into digits, then you can take , as input. Like: 12154,454 . Thanks
