Force Phone Keyboard - Android

I've got an app that only needs numbers, i would like to have only the phone version of the keyboard show, but it only gives me the option of standard keyboard. is there a way to select the phone version for a default keyboard?

Code:
android:inputType="number"
Here is a list of options.

I'm guessing i need to add that line to some config file?

for sure bro

I think i stated my question incorrectly... I'm not developing an app, I'm using an app, when i click in the text box it brings up the regular keyboard. I would like it to bring up the 'phone' key pad.
Like an input option if i had multiple keyboards installed... Hope that clarifies better... Maybe there is a keyboard i could install that is just this?

In order to have an "option" you need to install a keyboard from that market. Not even sure if any of them have that option. you can try swift. If not, you need to edit the layout file for that input and package the app back up.

I ended up finding one called Filt Keyboard... it had an addon option that did this...

New android keyboard addition?

Hi guys, I am currently using the multi-touch keyboard that comes with Axura 2.1 rom, and I wanted to flash the new gingerbread 2.3 android keyboard, but when I did that the multi touch keyboard disappeared and the 2.3 keyboard was there, but I want both! So my question is, how do I add the new keyboard in my input options?

you should be able to pull the apk from the zip file under system/app and then install it as you would any side loaded app. Maybe I'm wrong but thats what i would try first.
rename it, then side load. give that a shot.

I took the .apk, renamed it, and put it in my system/app, but it didn't work. And whenever I tried installing it like a normal apk, it wouldn't install, now what do I do?

Download the zip. In rom manager install cwm. Then hit install from sd card or.install rom, find the zip from the webpage listed above. Check backup when the preinstall box comes up. And hit install. These directions are kinda rough so.if you have any questions pm me. Good luck

New update question

On my t bolt the new update made it change to page scrolling for my apps. How do I change it back so there are no pages?
perhaps send EchoX860 a PM. He recently got no page scrolling on my ROM (which is pretty much stock). He might be able to help you.

Emoji font?

Hey guys. So I've done research's and tried several methods including this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320754
And an app in the market. I can't seem to get it to work for the life of me!
Any ideas??

I use the Font Changer (root) app found on the market by Martino and it works just fine. I used it all the time on my Atrix. That should work for you.

The only way I have gotten emoji icons to work on my Android devices is to use GO SMS Messenger with the Emoji plug-in. It works pretty good, but I have not tried to use any other methods as well since some people prefer to use the stock SMS app.

iPhone people/Apple did NOT create Emoji. in fact, they're being sued right now by Samsung over Emoji.

Small screen,in need of keyboard

I've tried nearly 10 keyboards and none of them seem to suit my need of being able to see what I type when I'm using a browser (ie...dolphin,opera,stock browser). Does anyone know of a keyboard that doesn't take up all of the screen when using browsers..when I'm texting,keyboards like wp7 and smart keyboard pro are functional and I can see what I type

+1 for SwiftKey. I got it free from the amazon market one day, and it has been the absolute best keyboard for me since. I would say well worth the couple of bucks it actually costs.
Perfect Keyboard gets a close second, with Go Keyboard bringing up third due to the insane amount of customization you can do to it.
This is what I mean..I've included two shots..one using browser while on Facebook the other using xda premium...I'm now on williamcharles's aokp from. While typing this I can see what I type...
Edit: well I can't include screenshots because the xda app keeps FCing on me..I probably have to clear data and reboot...

Lucky for me I can use the stock keyboard with one hand. I actually really like the default qwerty on this beast.
