The android:inputType attribute has three pieces: The class is the overall interpretation of characters. The currently supported classes are text (plain text), number (decimal number), phone (phone number), and datetime (a date or time). The variation is a further refinement on the class. In the attribute you will normally specify the class and variant together, with the class as a prefix. For example, textEmailAddress is a text field where the user will enter something that is an e-mail address (foo@bar.com) so the key layout will have an '@' character in easy access, and numberSigned is a numeric field with a sign. If only the class is specified, then you get the default/generic variant. Additional flags can be specified that supply further refinement. These flags are specific to a class. For example, some flags for the text class are textCapSentences, textAutoCorrect, and textMultiline.
