Android custom keyboard - How to detect requested keyboard type -

following this tutorial have created working android os keyboard. standard qwerty alpha/numeric.

i have second keyboard mark-up numeric keyboard.

what can't seem detect type of keyboard being specified text input box. edittext specifies type edittext.setinputtype(inputtype.type_class_text); how ime service detect can present correct keyboard?

public class mykeybdime extends inputmethodservice implements keyboardview.onkeyboardactionlistener {     private keyboardview kv;     private keyboard keyboard;     private keyboard numboard;     private boolean caps = false;     @override     public view oncreateinputview() {         kv = (mkeyboardview)getlayoutinflater().inflate(r.layout.keyboard, null);         keyboard = new keyboard(this, r.xml.qwertyfull);         numboard = new keyboard(this, r.xml.num);  //        inputmethodmanager imm = (inputmethodmanager)     getsystemservice(context.input_method_service); //how can detect being asked for?        //        imm.togglesoftinput(inputmethodmanager.show_forced,0); // or on wrong path part?           kv.setkeyboard(keyboard);//... or numboard when entry requests numeric keyboard         kv.setonkeyboardactionlistener(this);         return kv;     } 

you can override onstartinput in custom keyboard class. here relevant code taken sample android keyboard:

@override public void onstartinput(editorinfo attribute, boolean restarting) {     // ...      switch (attribute.inputtype & inputtype.type_mask_class) {         case inputtype.type_class_number:             // ...             break;         case inputtype.type_class_datetime:             // ...             break;         case inputtype.type_class_phone:             // ...             break;         case inputtype.type_class_text:             // ...             break;         default:             // ...     }      // ... }
