what would be the correct KeyboardType for number only (not decimal). NumberPassword or Phone ?

Number? https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/text/input/KeyboardType.Companion#Number()

I’d do the non-decimal restriction separately from the KeyboardType.

number allows decimals. i guess its phone ?

there is also NumberPassword. There is no description anywhere, thats why i ask

you mean on the change callback ?

I don’t recommend relying on the keyboard type to enforce input restrictions. I see it as more of a convenience for the user. There’s nothing stopping me from making a keyboard with

KeyboardType.Phone

that has a period character

Yeah, on change callback or whatever other validation mechanism you like
