How to add custom buttons to keyboard?

Question

I would like to have a numeric keyboard so I used android:inputType="phone".

But I do not need (,),+,*,#,$ symbols. I would like to be able to use capital N instead. So, I need a keyboard with 0-9 and N.

just a little out of track..can we add a user defined button on the keyboard? — Nitesh Verma, Feb 26 '15 at 03:52

As far as i know you cant make custom keyboard layout because the layouts are part of the InputMethod application installed by the user.

You can however disable the default keyboard poping-up and build your own custom 'drawer action' layout which will have keys on it and have the same function of a keyboard while actually its just a UI element which you implement.
