Good morning,

How do I show only the numeric keypad in a Text Input?

[Elias Coutinho]

Does anyone know how to change the kivy keyboard to numeric only?

try setting the input_type property to number (https://kivy.org/doc/stable/api-kivy.uix.behaviors.html#kivy.uix.behaviors.FocusBehavior.input_type)

I had already tested this.
Nothing happens, it shows the full keyboard.
There must be something missing to do!

I haven't developed a mobile app so far, but you could try looking into the keyboard and vkeyboard classes. This seems promising: https://kivy.org/doc/stable/api-kivy.uix.vkeyboard.html#request-keyboard

I swear I tried to understand but didn't understand.
I was unable to display only the numbers on the keyboard.

Make sure to use kivy >=2.0.0 and p4a from develop branch textinput.input_type='numbers' should work.

Do you have a short example of what the code would look like?

I don't know if I have p4a installed.
In the kivy documentation did not ask to install.

See in the image attached my versions:

ok, so it seems you are using kivy on a desktop,  I assume on a touch screen using a vkeyboard, you should look into the link Nusli linked to https://kivy.org/doc/stable/api-kivy.uix.vkeyboard.html#request-keyboard

I swear this part of the code I understood, however, I have no idea where to use it.

It is correct to say that I am using it on a desktop, it happens that in android the magic does not happen.
If you have an example code I would like to thank you.

keyboard = Window.request_keyboard(
    self._keyboard_close, self)
if keyboard.widget:
    vkeyboard = self._keyboard.widget
    vkeyboard.layout = 'numeric.json'

Here is a small workaround::

```

<WTextInput@TextInput>

    keyboard_mode: 'managed'

    kbdmode: 'qwerty'

    on_focus:

        if not self._keyboard:\

            self._ensure_keyboard();\

            self._keyboard.widget.layout = self.kbdmode

        self.show_keyboard() if args[1] else self.hide_keyboard()

BoxLayout

    WTextInput:

        kbdmode: 'azerty'

    WTextInput

```

It seems this api is not exposed. This would qualify as a bug. Please open a issue. tagging this conversation,  and `FocusBehavior` as the widget that needs fixing.
