Start Different Keyboard for different activities

Question

My application has two requirements where one screen is an numeric entry and other has an search option. Since user has to use the numeric keyboard most of the time he has to change the input type of edit text and select the keyboard. Is there any way i could start a numeric keyboard for one activity and charater keyboard when other activty starts
