Numeric keyboard doesn't work with SDL2

Not sure if this needs a change in Kivy, or p4a, or both.

Same problem as @Fak3, my app shows numeric keyboard in Kivy launcher but if I install it after compiling with sdl2 it always shows default keyboard.

For reference, the place where this probably needs to be handled is https://github.com/kivy/kivy/blob/master/kivy/core/window/window_sdl2.py#L697

It looks like this is more annoying than it used to be because SDL2 doesn't actually have an API for it. Probably we need to update the inputType of our Java View before opening the textinput, but this will need some pyjnius code in the right places, and some care needs to be taken about what to do if e.g. the TextInput is already open.

Hi, does anyone knows if this has been fixed ?, if so in which version ?
