I have a fragment with multiple linear layouts and one edit text box. However the keyboard stays open all the time. I've tried setting the fragment main layout as clickable and focusableInTouchMode which works but only for parts of the view that show the main layout. Any other parts of the view that are touched still do not hide the keyboard.
Does anyone know how I can overcome this without adding focus listeners to all parts of the layout?
Have you tried to set:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

I have an Activity with three Fragment and they are controlled by Tabs at the bottom.
One of the fragments needs the keyboard and so I would like to resize the fragment recycler view when the keyboard is visible, so that the last item in the recycler view is visible above the keyboard (after scrolling).
But if in the AndroidManifest.xml, I specify
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
or
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
The bottom tabs also become visible above the keyboard.
I even tried to use OnGlobalLayoutListener to check when the keyboard is visible and then adjust height of the recycler view accordingly. But this also does not work, since, OnGlobalLayoutListener is called only when
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" or android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
are used, which defeats the purpose in this case.
Is there any way such that the view of the Fragment is resized/adjusted but not the activity view (bottom tabs)?
Thanks
So this is how I solved it.
The keyboard changes are received in OnGlobalLayoutListener when
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
And it also does not push the bottom tabs above the keyboard.
Thus, it solves the issue at hand.
Thanks
I have an EditText. When I click on it, the input keyboard shows up with the EditText directly above it. I want the keyboard to show up a little bit further down at another View, as if the keyboard is focusing on that. Is there a way to handle this?
My use case is I have two EditTexts and a Button in vertical LinearLayout. I want it so that when I click on either of the EditTexts, the keyboard will popup and still show all three Views.
Best practice, you won't want that, i.e showing all views while the keyboard is showing. This will force android to squeeze the views when there isn't enough space.
Best option is try adding paddingBottom to your EditText an example being android:paddingBottom="15dp" This should align the keyboard 15 pixels below your EditText.
You could also use ScrollView as suggested above which allows android to auto handle vertical scrolling for you.
Layout MockI have a decorated (Framed) EditText which I use in my app. When the soft keyboard comes up it hides the part of the frame that is below the text view. For the frame functionality I use a LinearLayout which contains the EditText.
Is there a way to set the keyboard not to hide the bottom part of the frame(The containing Layout)?
Edit: I guess I am not explaining myself properly. The Linear layout containing the EditText is not the main fragment layout, it is contained in it and is used as a decorator for it. what I am basically trying to do is set a margin between the keyboard and the EditText so that the keyboard doesn't hide the surrounding LinearLayout which is again, not the main layout for the fragment.
In the mock, the problem is that the keyboard goes up all the way to the bottom of the EditText and covers the bottom part of the wrapper layout. I need the entire wrapper layout to be seen. Any Ideas.
You have to wrap your linear layout within ScrollView with the following property android:fillViewport="true" and in manifest write down the following line of code `android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize".
Set all your Activity view or layout in ScrollView.
Which will make your view scrollup when soft keyboard open and it don't hide your view.
An EditText at the bottom of a ListView when pressed, hides the ActionBar. My first problem was to prevent the background image of ListView to shrink. Somehow i overcame my issue. But dnt know how to tackle this one. Can any body guide me? Thanx in advance.
Edit(Explanation)
like a chat window in Viber or Whats App, i have a EditText at the bottom, a ListView in the center and an ActionBar at the top. when i clicked the EditText , the background image shrinks/squeeze. I used adjustPan to overcome this. Its fine. But now, when the soft Keyboard appears, it hides the ActionBar/TitleBar.
Use adjustResize instead of adjustPan. The framework will always try to keep the focused element on-screen by scrolling any parent views if necessary.
If your EditText field is not nested in some sort of scrolling container such as a ScrollView then your layout may be too tall to completely display when the keyboard resizes your activity. Try wrapping your form's layout in a ScrollView. This will also allow your app's content to scroll if it is running on a smaller screen device where it may have similar issues.
I would like to change the layout when an EditText is clicked and the softkeyboard is shown, so all EditText views are still visible.
I know that you can use the following two, but this is not what i'm looking for.
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateUnchanged|adjustPan">
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateUnchanged|adjustResize">
I've got 8 EditText views spread over the whole screen. When one is clicked to change a value I would like to still see all the ET views but nicely arrange and not pushed in a weird view.
Is there an easy way to do this?
I think you are going to have to do this yourself, but one technique might be ...
Create a layout with the views arranged for the keyboard shown (for instance a new RelativeLayout) that overlays your standard layout. Set it's visibility to GONE. Then when you detect the event that shows the keyboard hide the current view and show the alternate one
I suppose you could also use a ViewSwitcher
If you are using both at the same time then it doesnt work.Set the attribute android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" only.That should work.
