I have a vertical sliding drawer at the bottom of my app. When the soft keyboard opens, it pushes the tab for the drawer up, so it sits atop the keyboard. I actually want it to remain at the bottom of the screen, becoming hidden when the keyboard is shown.
Anyone else run into this issue? Know how to fix it?
You can simply switch your Activity's windowSoftInputModeflag to adjustPan in your AndroidMainfest.xml file inside your activity tag.
Check the official documentation for more info.
<activity
...
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
</activity>
If your container is not changing size, then you likely have the height set to "match parent". If possible, set the parent to "Wrap Content", or a constraint layout with constraingts to top and bottom of parent.
The parent container will shrink to fit the available space, so it is likely that your content should be inside of a scolling view to prevent (depending on the phone manufacturer and the layout choosen...)
even if the layout it is in is a relative or constraint layout, the content could exhibit problems 1-3.
In my case, the reason the buttons got pushed up was because the view above them was a ScrollView, and it got collapsed with the buttons pushed up above the keyboard no matter what value of android:windowSoftInputMode I was setting.
I was able to avoid my bottom row of buttons getting pushed up by the soft keyboard by setting android:isScrollContainer="false" on the ScrollView that sits above the buttons.
For future readers.
I wanted specific control over this issue, so this is what I did:
From a fragment or activity, hide your other views (that aren't needed while the keyboard is up), then restore them to solve this problem:
rootView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
@Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
Rect r = new Rect();
rootView.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);
int heightDiff = rootView.getRootView().getHeight() - (r.bottom - r.top);
if (heightDiff > 100) { // if more than 100 pixels, its probably a keyboard...
//ok now we know the keyboard is up...
view_one.setVisibility(View.GONE);
view_two.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}else{
//ok now we know the keyboard is down...
view_one.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
view_two.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}
});
For Scroll View:
if after adding android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan" in your Android Manifest and still does not work.
It may be affected because when the keyboard appears, it will be into a scroll view and if your button/any objects is not in your scroll view then the objects will follow the keyboard and move its position.
Check out your xml where your button is and make sure it is under your scroll View bracket and not out of it.
Hope this helps out. :D
None of them worked for me, try this one
private void scrollingWhileKeyboard() {
drawerlayout.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
@Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
Rect r = new Rect();
try {
drawerlayout.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);
int screenHeight = drawerlayout.getRootView().getHeight();
int keypadHeight = screenHeight - r.bottom;
if (keypadHeight > screenHeight * 0.15) {
tabLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
} else {
tabLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
}
}
});
}
The activity's main window will not resize to make room for the soft keyboard. Rather, the contents of the window will be automatically panned so that the current focus is never obscured by the keyboard and users can always see what they are typing.
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
This might be a better solution for what you desired.
I was struggling for a while with this problem. Some of the solutions worked however some of my views where still being pushed up while others weren't... So it didn't completely solve my problem. In the end, what did the job was adding the following line of code to my manifest in the activity tag...
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan|adjustResize"
Good luck
There are two ways of solving this problem. Go to the AndroidManifist.xml, and in the name of your activity, add this line
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
As in the below code, I have added to the Register Activity.
<activity android:name=".Register"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
In the second way, go to your activity, and in your onCreate method, add this code.
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);
