How do I get a Edittext with both a phone input and the ability to hide the string. I know that
android:inputType="textPassword"
hides the string, while
android:inputType="phone"
brings up a dialpad interface.
How to combine the two?

I haven't tried this, but it might be possible to combine the two like so:
android:inputType="textPassword|phone"
since inputType can take on multiple values.

It does not work. The EditText is ignoring the textPassword and just setting to phone

Sorry about that, my answer was just an educated guess without testing.. dtmilano's snippet looks to be the right way to go.

A:
android:password is deprecated, but AFAIK is the only way because android:inputType="phone|textPassword" is ignored ...
<EditText
android:id="@+id/EditText01"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:password="true"
android:inputType="phone" />

Ah, interesting. I hadn't seen that it's deprecated. Here's the documentation that mentions `inputType` is the way to go (as Roman mentions): http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html#password

This problem can be solved without using deprecated android:password. See my answer here.
