i have many input fields in my project and all of them accept numeric values followed by alphabetic values(like 246736adsf) so i want to show numeric keyboard first(in keyboard having numeric and alphabetic values) and alphabetic on selection. I tried a lot but all problems open only numeric not combination of both. So please help me to get rid of this problem. Thanking you.

set input type to number for edit text like this
android:inputType="number"
UPDATE
EditText text = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
text.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
