To specify the keyboard type for a RadAutocompleteTextView in Nativescript using Typescript, you can use the "keyboardType" property. For example:

import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { AutoCompleteEventData, AutoCompleteItem } from "nativescript-ui-autocomplete";
import { KeyboardType } from "tns-core-modules/ui/enums";

@Component({
    selector: "ns-app",
    templateUrl: "./app.component.html"
})
export class AppComponent {
    public items: Array<AutoCompleteItem> = [
        { suggestion: "Item 1" },
        { suggestion: "Item 2" },
        { suggestion: "Item 3" },
        { suggestion: "Item 4" },
        { suggestion: "Item 5" }
    ];

    public keyboardType: KeyboardType = "email";

    public onAutoCompleteEvent(event: AutoCompleteEventData) {
        console.log(event.eventName);
        console.log(event.object.text);
    }
}

In this example, the "keyboardType" property is set to "email", but other value options include "datetime", "phone", "url", and more. This property is then bound to the RadAutocompleteTextView to specify the keyboard type.
