Hello, What is the process for designing a custom number pad in Xamarin forms to be displayed in certain fields, while others still use the native Android keyboard for input? I'd like to avoid using axml as I am not familiar with it, and the default numeric keyboard flag doesn't work for my desired button layout and alignment. Are there any resources or documentation available for this?

You can refer to this thread with the same issue Creating a Custom Android Keyboard.
