Android Question Text keyboard with numbers on top row [SOLVED]

[AHilberink]

Hi,

Some apps change the soft keyboard to one with text and separate number keys at the top. Is there a inputtype to select this?

I found this, but don't understand the solution Gboard.

I don't think that you can force a keyboard style that shows separate digit keys on the top row. The replies above state, correctly, that GBoard (which is the standard keyboard app provided by Google) can be configured by the User to show only digits on the top row, but I do not believe that you can force the keyboard into this configuration from your app. In any case your user (or the phone manufacturer eg Samsung) might have replaced GBoard with an alternative keyboard of their own choice.
