I'm sorry if any similar question has been resolved in other topics. I have a screen with the root is a frame layout.
The layout in back contains a lot of content
The layout in front contains an edit text to allow user enter some text. Normally, it put at the bottom of the screen.
What I expected is when the keyboard appears, the layout contains content is keep unchanged while the layout contains edit text move up to the keyboard.
Please check the images below
Is there any solution to achieve this?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Basically what you need is to edit the activity tag in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<!-- Configures the keyboard to be hidden right away and for UI to keep content as is when shown -->
<activity
android:name="com.example.myactivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan" />

I have an ExpandableListView which contains a RecyclerView of a custom layout. This layout contains some views including my EditText.
My behavior is : When I click in my number EditText, the keyboard appears for about 0.5s, the whole layout is cleared with default values, then the keyboard disappears, a text EditText appears, and finally I loose focus. When I click on it one more time, the keyboard stays, but in text type. Strange thing : the problem seems to be only on devices where the whole layout overflows the screen because on 10" tablet, everything is ok (layout not cleared, and keyboard not disappearing).
According to me, when I get the focus in the EditText, the layout is re-creates , making it to be cleared.
I tried a long time to figure out what was going on, but I didn't find anything. Here is the things I tried, but didn't change anything :
android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants" // on all parent of the EditText
focusable="true" // On the EditText
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" // In the activity in the manifest
making all the ViewHolder attributes final
As the code is very huge for all that amount of things, I don't know what I should post to help. So don't hesitate to ask anything if it can help
Thanks!

Try adding this line to your activity on manifest.xml:
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|screenSize"
Opening keyboard or screen size changes may trigger to re-create your content.
Been looking through various threads to figure this out but I'm still stumped. When I apply "adjustPan" to an activity with an EditText at the bottom, the UI is pushed up correctly but the Edit Text is slightly obscured by the keyboard at the bottom. After closer inspection I noticed it obscures just under the actual text in the edit text so that I can see the full view when I add a new line. It's as if the android mark for what is the bottom of the edit text view is actually the bottom of the last line of text in the edit text rather than the full container. To this end I'm losing a few pixels at the bottom. Would appreciate any thoughts on the matter! Is it a bug of some description perhaps? Been driving me crazy!
Also of note, the workaround of wrapping everything in a scrollView and using adjustResize instead is unfortunately not an option in this case.
Thanks!
Try adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" into the activity section of your AndroidManifest.xml file.
<activity>
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
</activity>
Now one of my layout with edittext align in the bottom ,when the edittext is clicked,the whole page moved up and make room for the softinput;
But I just want the bottom layout moved up,the solution is ?
Suppose you have a stack of Ten plates. You Put another plate at the botton, number eleven plate, I mean. Do you really think only th eplate number ten willmove, and not the others? Seriously?
You probably have to make a change to your manifest file: I use this one to let the soft keyboard appear and making the rest of the view scrollable:
<activity
android:name=".GroupProperties"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize"
android:label="#string/groepsleden_toevoegen"
>
</activity>
Depending on your layout you might also use
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
In my app I am using various edit text and text view and list view.
Now my problem is my keyboard appears again on orientation change. Ideally when user minimize the keyboard, it should be in minimized state when device is tilted. But it reappears. How do we handle this situation.
My other problem is one of my edit text is some what at the end of screen. When keyboard appears, it hides the edit text. so user is not able to see what he is typing. What is the ideal way to handle this.
thanks.
Solution to all problem is this line android:windowSoftInputMode="stateUnchanged|adjustResize"
"stateUnchanged" will make the state of keyboard same as it was in earlier state. Either hidden or visible.
"adjustResize" will make your edit text visible.
Hope this helps.!!!
Edit
This need to be added in android manifest file.
I had this same problem. To keep the keyboard from re-appearing on rotation when you have TextViews, you must do 2 things-
Make sure the TextView doesn't have the focus. Even after hiding the keyboard, a TextView can still be focused. Try calling
textView.clearFocus()
and you should be able to see the difference in the TextView.
Make sure there is another view before it (like a parent LinearLayout, or even just a LinearLayout with 0 width and 0 height) which has these properties-
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
Try adding this code in your Activities properties in the manifest
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan"
Like
<activity
android:name=".MyActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan" >
This should take care of both your problems
For the Second Question :
You can set your layout to ScrollView to avoid hiding of edittext on Keyboard appears.
Put your entire layout in a ScrollView.
I found the following documentation to be helpful in understanding the various flags associated with the soft keyboard:
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#wsoft
I am working on an android Application where I am willing to get input from user. I created a layout for it which has a scroll view as a root view & Relative layout as it's child all the other layout are inside this Relative layout. But when edit text is at the bottom of screen & user click on it to bring keyboard it shows some blank box between edit text & keyboard & after this if user enters any word it doesn't get displayed in edit text. But if Edit text is above nearly more then half size of screen it works fine. You can get more clearly by looking at images below
Here is my code
Does anyone faced this kind of problem?? Please help!!!
The default IME mode set on the activity in the manifest (android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan") will pan the main layout so the text field is in the middle of the viewable area. While the majority of your content is in a scrollable region, it is simply moving the whole region and not scrolling the contents into view. If you use android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing" it will prevent the layout panning, but will also effectively do nothing and just cover your original input.
MY recommendation would be to use adjustResize, this might fix it for you. If not, you have to look into doing some custom scroll-region focusing.
