How do I nail a button down to the screen and fix it there? When you open the keyboard, the button rises above the keyboard, when closed, it goes back down to the screen. I need it to hide under the keyboard, that is, it was constantly on a fixed place.
The code fragment that is responsible for the button:
<RelativeLayout
android:padding="10dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/confirm_order_layout">
<Button
android:id="#+id/confirm_order"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#drawable/button_style_green"
android:text="#string/confirm_order"
android:textSize="18dp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</RelativeLayout>
add below line in activity area of menyfest file.
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

I have a simple chat activity, with a message entry box at the top and then a scrollview with the message list. When the soft keyboard is opened, I want the scrollview to shrink so that the last message is not covered by the keyboard. This is my xml:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

I just manually inserted two messages but there will be many of them in the real app. I already tried with the adjustPan|adjustResize solution, but it does not work, when I fire the keyboard the layout is unchanged and the last messages are covered by the keyboard. How can I avoid this?
Thanks for your help!
I solved this problem by using the manifest. In the activity I used:
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize"
This way the keyboard starts out hidden and then when the user clicks in the EditText the keyboard will show up and the rest of the screen gets resized.
Look into the windowSoftInputMode for other settings for keyboard behavior (e.g. just covering up screen instead of resizing).
Edit:
To scroll the scroll view to the bottom after the keyboard shows up I needed to use a slight delay because sometimes the scroll would happen first and then the keyboard showed up and the scroll view was no longer at the bottom. I ended up not keeping this for other reasons, but to delay the scroll a bit one can do this:
// now scroll to the bottom
ScrollView sv = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.myScrollView);
sv.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
ScrollView sv = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.myScrollView);
sv.scrollTo(0, sv.getBottom());
}
});
When I click on Edittext, keyboard appears. There is a button that is still visible when the keyboard is on, but it's not clickable. You can click that button only when you hit "back" button and keyboard dissapears. I want to be able to click that button even when the keyboard is visible. This problem is only with 4 and higher android versions, everything is fine in older versions.
How can I make that visible button would be clickable even when the keyboard is popped out?
Here's the code:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:mm="http://millennialmedia.com/android/schema"
android:id="#+id/mainLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<ImageView android:id="#+id/topLogo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:contentDescription="#string/logo_desc"
android:src="#drawable/top_logo" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/searchField"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/topLogo"
android:inputType="textPersonName" >
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="#+id/searchButton"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/searchField"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="#string/search_button_label" />
</RelativeLayout>
Turns own <com.millennialmedia.android.MMAdView/> was causing problems. It was in the same RelativeLayout with all other components. Putting MMAdView to another layout inside the main layout solved the problem.
I am developing an application for Android.
I have a simple layout. A CheckBox, a Spinner and a Button at the top, a two line EditText at the Bottom which is displayed when the CheckBox is checked and another EditText which covers the rest of the space in the middle.
The problem is that when I am writing on the big EditText, sometimes the layout goes out of the screen on top and as a result I can't see what I am writing.
As a solution, I can set my layout to resize when the keyboard shows (using android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" on the manifest.xml) but that won't be good since I do not want the 2 EditTexts to share the space left on the screen.
My layout code follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<Button android:id="#+id/button"
android:text="Push"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>
<CheckBox android:id="#+id/check_box"
android:text="Check"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />
<Spinner android:id="#+id/spinner"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<EditText android:id="#+id/text_2"
android:hint="#string/hint_2"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:maxLines="2"
android:gravity="top"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:visibility="gone" />
<EditText android:id="#+id/text_1"
android:hint="#string/hint_1"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:gravity="top"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/spinner"
android:layout_above="#id/text_2"
android:layout_alignWithParentIfMissing="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
P.S. This thing happens only on my Wildfire and very rare on the Emulator. A friend's Desire HD didn't have any problem at all. I don;t know if this makes any difference...
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have the exact same problem. I've tested and this only happens with EditText in multiline mode and when SoftInputMode is set to adjustPan. This is most probably an Android bug.
The only solution I've found is to remove adjustPan.
I have a layout that uses an EditText to let users search a database and populate a ListView. The EditText is about 2/3 of the way from the top of the screen (positioned over an ImageView, and followed by some intro text.)
The problem is that the soft keyboard hides the EditText, so the user can't see what he's typing. (I disabled the auto-suggest.)
I've tried LinearLayout, RelativeLayout, paddings, and different alignments/centerings, but I still can't get it to work right. The EditText is either hidden, gets pushed off the top of the screen, or get "squished" and distorted.
Suggestions???
One possible workaround is to move the EditText to the top of the screen. However, this deviates from the graphic design that I was given.
Another possible workaround is for me to make the soft keyboard open in full screen (not sure how, though). This will still hide the EditText, but then I can re-enable the auto-suggestion so the user can see what he's typing... sort of... because he can only see the suggestions for what he's typing.
Here's my latest attempt. See "introFrame".

What you're looking for is the Activity's windowSoftInputMode attribute. You set this in your AndroidManifest.xml file, and give it a value such as:
adjustResize: "The activity's main window is always resized to make room for the soft keyboard on screen."
adjustPan: "The activity's main window is not resized to make room for the soft keyboard. Rather, the contents of the window are automatically panned so that the current focus is never obscured by the keyboard and users can always see what they are typing. This is generally less desirable than resizing, because the user may need to close the soft keyboard to get at and interact with obscured parts of the window."
adjustResize will probably work for you, as long as you wrap the layout in a ScrollView. It may have negative effects if you have a bitmap image in the background, as it will be resized as well, in which case you may want to use adjustPan instead.
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" />
or
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" />
More information is available at the above link.
What has worked for me is to drop my highest-level LinearLayout in a scrollView (the ScrollView can only have one child). This allowed the entire activity/form to scroll up and not clutter the EditText in focus.
First, I set in my activity:
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" />
Then I did the ScrollView thing I'm talking about:
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- STUFF -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
just use following in manifest...
<activity
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
try giving the edit text a layout_weight (i.e. layout_weight=1) , this may have some other effects on your other layout items that you may have to work through, but this may help it stay visible when soft keyboard pops up
I'm trying to implement a login view where several EditTexts and a logo are displayed on the screen with a ButtonBar at the bottom, something like this:
alt text http://russellhaering.com/media/addAccount.png
The problem is that on very small screens, especially when they are rotated sideways, the entire main view doesn't fit onto the screen.
I currently have
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I've tried encapsulating the first LinnearLayout in a ScrollView that looks like this:
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<!-- Linear Layout Here -->
</ScrollView>
But that introduces two problems:
The ScrollView doesn't scroll, even on screens where the data doesn't all fit
The ButtonBar floats on top of the onscreen keyboard, obscuring even more of the screen when the keyboard comes up.
Everything worked great when I had the buttons inside the ScrollView, but now that I have them in the ButtonBar I'm having a lot of trouble figuring this out.
It turned out that the solution required two steps:
The inability to scroll was a result of the ScrollView being behind the Button Bar. To fix this, I defined the ScrollView below the Button Bar, then used android:layout_above="#id/buttonbar_login" to force the ScrollView to reside entirely above the Button Bar.
Apparently when the onscreen keyboard is opened, if you have a ScrollView it will be resized allowing the Button Bar to float up with the keyboard. To fix this I modified the manifest and added android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" to prevent the ScrollView from resizing.
If your use case supports hiding of the button bar in landscape orientation you can check Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE and set the button bar to View.GONE.
You also probably need to set android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" on the <activity> in your manifest file. Android will only put it in adjustResize automatically when the root layout is a ScrollView (iirc).
