You need to set the InputType to Email. Not all keyboards behave the way you expect at times though. I've used a few devices that didn't show @ for email or / and .com for URL, so if it doesn't work after setting it you may need to load a different keyboard that does.

thanks Roger

But i didn't get any default option like "INPUT_TYPE_EMAIL". There are default options like input type text, number, decimal, none only.

Will you let me know some more

thanks

InputType=33

(EditorInfo.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | EditorInfo.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_ADDRESS)

InputType=33

(EditorInfo.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | EditorInfo.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_ADDRESS)

i don't understand... where do you put this in order to use it?

Something like:

EditText1.InputType = 33

Thanks. That really seems to slow the transition from one edittext to another (it has to load the other keyboard). Is there a way to set that globally so all keyboards in the app are that one?

You will need to set the input type of all the EditTexts.
