Jens Panneel 75e49a0637 Feature/add decimal pad to android (#19714)
Summary:
For a current use-case we need the a keyboard with characters 0-9 and a decimal point (or comma depending on language settings)

This exists on iOS as UIKeyboardType "decimalPad" and this is what react-native maps to for both "numeric" and "decimal-pad". This also exists on Android as inputType "numberDecimal", but is currently not accessible through react-native.

This PR maps the value "decimal-pad" of the keyboardType property of TextInput to the Android inputType "numberDecimal", effectively making "decimal-pad" cross platform without breaking anything.

* https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView#attr_android:inputType

There is this bug in some Samsung keyboards where both the - sign and decimal sign disappear when the keyboardType is set to "number" and both the "signed" and "decimal" flags are set. (Like is the case when using the react-native keyboardType prop "numeric".) https://androidforums.com/threads/numeric-soft-keyboard-missing-minus-sign-in-android-8-0-samsung-a5.1272628/

For developers that need decimal numbers but not negative ones, using "decimal-pad" will provide a workaround. I reproduced this on a Samsung A5 only, but maybe other phones have this exact issue. https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/12988 https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/12977 https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/17473 https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/17474

* Added testcase consistent with existing keyboardType tests
* Also added testcase for the related, but missing number-pad

This PR follows the same approach as the recently merged PR introducing "number-pad" b638847a46
