title: How do I default to numeric keyboard on EditText without forcing numeric input?
body: <p>This has been asked elsewhere online to no avail. Is there any way in Android to display the numeric soft keyboard when focusing on an <code>EditText</code>, but still allow any text to be entered? </p>
  
  <p>I'd like to let the user enter quantities (e.g. "1 kg", "2 L"), so just setting <code>inputType="number"</code> won't work.</p>
