EditText does not accept digits as input

[Etienne Lawlor]

The EditText view with id="price" has an inputType="numberDecimal" that does not accept any digits but will only accept one decimal point. The other EditText view with id="store" has noinputType set but has two issues. If the view has no input then entering a digit from the keyboard doesn't do anything. The only way to have a digit be accepted is if it immediately follows either a letter or another digit. I am using the default Android keyboard. The layout is being inflated in theonCreateView() method of a subclass of SherlockFragment. Could this be an issue with theEditText view behavior inside a SherlockFragment? Does anyone know what could be causing this issue?

SherlockFragment doesn't do anything except wrap and unwrap types. Any behavior change around this is not because of ABS.

Hey Jake,
  Thanks for clearing that up.  At least I know that ABS is not to blame.  I updated my Stackoverflow post, and realized that  

I have a similar layout that is used to inflate a subclass of 'SherlockFragmentActivity', and those EditText views behave normally.

 Do you have an idea of what I could look into for what could be causing this strange behavior?

Does this have anything to do with different version of Android or different phone manufacturers.  Because I am seeing different behavior testing on two different phones

The issue was with a ViewGroup higher up in the ViewHierarchy that was consuming certain events like entering digits on a Keyboard.  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18069507/edittext-does-not-accept-digits-as-input
