Thanks for your reply. I tried "integer|signed" and "signed|integer" but it doesn't make any difference. The negative sign doesn't show in the text edit and the value ends up positive. Have you been able to enter negative numbers? I have tied to enter the negative sign when running the app by pressing the I key on the emulator keyboard. I am using Eclipse. Is this the correct key, do you press it before or after the numbers and are there any other keys to press such as shift etc? I am sure there will be a simple answer but it is frustrating not knowing what that answer is.

As you haven't told android if you'd like integers or decimals as format. If you wanna use decimals, then try decimal|signed On Jun 21, 7:55 am, MMC2 <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a text edit that has android:numeric="signed" in the xml > layout.
