Adding a number in the add contact screen should give you nummeric keyboard

[dolf1074]

If you want to insert a new contact, you have to enter a new phone number. If you hit the input field, you would expect a numeric keyboard should appear. But a normal keyboard appears.

this can't be done.
If i use qwo i don't need the numeric keyboard, moreover e17 has only a "keyboard" which is not standard, terminal for example also has numbers and i can set it as default keyboard so if i do that i still don't need a numeric keyboard.
so this is related only if you use the default keyboard but can lead to a lot of problem if you select a different one like qwo

This can't be done with the illume keyboard either.
So i close this as wontfix, as we can't fix it.

Heinervdm, you are entirely correct, there is a way to choose the preferred keyboard for a field, for instance:
ecore_x_e_virtual_keyboard_state_set does it and lets you choose what kind of keyboard you prefer (numeric/alpha/etc), so it can be done, and should be done.

But it should only be done after we fix a little something in the design of the contact show screen, we need to add an hoversel that lets you choose the type of field you are adding before we can do that.

Actually, it's probably best to use elm_win_keyboard_mode_set instead of the ecore way.
