I have an address search field in my app. When this field gets focus I want to open the keyboard as in the following image.

iOS Number Punctuation Keyboard

It works fine for iOS when the keyboard type is set to Titanium.UI.KEYBOARD_NUMBERS_PUNCTUATION as in the following code

var search = Titanium.UI.createSearchBar({
        barColor:'#c8c8c8',
        autocorrect:true,
        hintText:'enter address',
        height:'43dp',
        top:'75dp',
        autocapitalization: Titanium.UI.TEXT_AUTOCAPITALIZATION_WORDS,
        keyboardType:Titanium.UI.KEYBOARD_NUMBERS_PUNCTUATION
    });

However on Android it appears as in the following image.

enter image description here

I am using Titanium mobile SDK 1.7.5

You should probably add :

softKeyboardOnFocus : Titanium.UI.Android.SOFT_KEYBOARD_SHOW_ON_FOCUS

Unfortunately, it may be overridden by the system. Try it on another Android system (3.0 for example) if the problem persist.
