    In an input field, how do I make sure that the keyboard that pops up is a 'western' style keyboard (a-z) instead of Arabic/Chinese ect.
    I have a database where the name will be transferred into, and if these are Arabic it F***s up the code, so I need to force user to only be able to enter a-z characters.
    is this possible at all, or can this only be changed by the android user?

    Thanks

    I guess i could set it to Alphanumeric, but that would allow numbers in usernames :s
    Will that change the keyboard type being shown on users phone tho?

    I have no way of testing this :s
