I am working on a hybrid apps where I need to display numeric keyboard with dot and comma for iOS. I tried the pattern [0-9] with type as number. It works for android but does not show dot/comma for iOS. Anyone has any idea how to achieve this for iOS ? i tried searching for cordova plugin. Did not get any. I created a custom keyboard in angular. But it is having some delay for iOS when i provide any input. I need below attached keyboard in html5 input field. For ios i don't get dots using "input type="number" min="0" inputmode="numeric" pattern="[0-9]*"".

2019 Update
For anyone coming from Google looking for a working solution, this is now possible with the inputmode attribute as of iOS 12.3.
So something like <input type="number" pattern="[0-9]*" inputmode="decimal"> will show the numeric keyboard with a dot/comma for Android/iOS 12.3+, and the regular numeric keyboard for older iOS devices - note that inputmode has to be set to "decimal".
More info available on MDN.
its will works Android and iOS
<input type="number" pattern="[0-9]*" inputmode="numeric">

iOS numeric keyboard look like this. Platforms can have diversity. I think Android and iOS works different for keyboard. globalnerdy.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/… Commented May 18, 2016 at 10:21

Using number i gets other special chars which I don't want. I want a simple keyboard with 0-9 ,dot and backspace. I can use number and restrict users to enter any chars other than i mentioned. But that I want to be my last option. Commented May 18, 2016 at 17:29
You can use something like,
<input type="number" pattern="[0-9]*" inputmode="numeric">
Update :
You can do something like,
EditText myEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.myEditText);
myEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL);
Or:
<input type="tel" />
or
<input type="number" step="0.01">
You can refer this stackoverflow question.
Hope this will help :)
