You cannot force input method editors (IMEs) to have any particular keys. You can *request* general *classes* (e.g., numeric), and the IME *may* elect to honor that request. However, there isn't even a way to request a particular key, let alone any way to ensure that it will be there.
Either use a class that is likely to have the desired key on it already (e.g., TYPE_CLASS_TEXT), or have your own button for adding in such characters in your own UI (e.g., a colon Button adjacent to the EditText).
