According to your need, you can set keyboard settings in Android Manifest File.

            android:reqKeyboardType=["undefined" | "nokeys" | "qwerty" |  
                                     "twelvekey"]
            android:reqNavigation=["undefined" | "nonav" | "dpad" | 
                                   "trackball" | "wheel"]
