Android Question Are numbers only positive ?

[derez]

The "numbers" definition of the keyboard in Edittext does not alow input of negative numbers, although a minus key exists there. Is this correct, such attitude ?

[Class] Input Type Constants

This class contains constants for all of the available inputtypes as defined on Android Developers except TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_COMPLETE, which would require a Java library to be of any use, but we have other options to do this anyway. It also provides a method to update the values associated...

npTyp.Initialize
InpTyp.SetInputType(EditText1, Array As Int(InpTyp.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT, InpTyp.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_CHARACTERS))  'uppercase letters

So based on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25854495/use-android-number-keypad-but-allow-negative-numbers you should be able to adapt it to

fromEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL
                    | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED);

Thanks DonManfred, My question is exactly like the link you provided. The solution is even simpler - I use decimal numbers keyboard. I just wandered why it is so.
