How do you set the EditText keyboard to only consist of numbers on Android?

After several tries, I got it!
I’m setting the keyboard values programmatically like this:

myEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_PASSWORD);

Or if you want you can edit the XML like so:

android: inputType = "numberPassword"

Both configs will display password bullets, so we need to create a custom ClickableSpan class:

private class NumericKeyBoardTransformationMethod extends PasswordTransformationMethod {
    @Override
    public CharSequence getTransformation(CharSequence source, View view) {
        return source;
    }
}

Finally we need to implement it on the EditText in order to display the characters typed.

myEditText.setTransformationMethod(new NumericKeyBoardTransformationMethod());

This is how my keyboard looks like now:
