Call the numeric keyboard?

I'm working on an app that frequently requires the user to enter numeric info. I'd love to let them bypass the step of having to click into the numeric keyboard and just launch it directly, is there someway to do that?

Thanks in advance,

Greg

Do you know if you can now 'Call the numer keyboard' with Flash Builder 4.5?

I don't think it is possible in AIR 2.7. In my last app, I implemented my own numeric keyboard...

Currently there is no method to call alternate keyboard from an AIR for Android application. You might consider creating your own numeric keyboard and handling the entire process yourself. This would an often requested item during the pre-release. I don't know if this feature will be in the next version (I hope it is).

If I understand you - you have the same wish as I do: to open the native device's keyboard, byt with the numeric button option enabled, right ?

I think that Adobe should come up with a solution to this real quick, as it seems to be a very annoying thing.. It is possible to do in "native" android development..
