My actual screen shot tested on device

I have a text field ( with a default hint "Enter Grade" ), whenever I touch the text field, the keypad of my device pops up.

My Problem: I dont want the user to enter the input text from his keypad, I want him to use my on-screen buttons ( like S or A or ...) to enter the numeric values ( 10 or 9.. respectively ). How to acheive this? or any better solution for that?

Thank you in advance.

    Have you tried setting `android:inputType=none` – CaseyB Jun 12 '13 at 05:37
  • Please check this question [`"Close/hide the Android Soft Keyboard"`](http://stackoverflow.com/q/1109022/1870450) for hiding and showing the Android soft keyboard. After hiding the keyboard you will ready to show the your custom view for input. Check [`this`](http://stackoverflow.com/a/1109108/1870450) also. May this helpful to you.. –  Jun 12 '13 at 05:55
