I initially started making an application on a Samsung Tab 3, and recently changed to a Samsung Active tablet. Since making the change, I noticed that the numeric keyboard is detached from the bottom of the screen, and is movable. I really want the numeric keyboard to be locked to the bottom of the screen, just like the regular keyboard.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Note: I'm running version 4.4.4

When creating an Android virtual keyboard, is it possible to have the keyboard stay open even if no text is selected?
If not, is it possible to occupy the area where the keyboard is when it's open, so that the layouts of the opened app don't change?
Reason being that I am working on a physical keyboard attachment, and I am considering making something similar to the Samsung S8 keyboard attachment (https://eskerahn.dk/?p=2284).
I could easily make something that works with the visible virtual keyboard, but as soon as the virtual keyboard closes, the app would use the full screen and then part of the app would be behind the keyboard.
If there is a solution, it should be compatible with Android 11 and 12 (so sadly no wm overscan).
I have a samsung galaxy phone where if I run my android application in landscape, and go to edit an EditText, the soft keyboard pops up, but a white background pops up where you type the text into. I believe this is default behavior for the samsung galaxy s3 because it happens in many apps, but the browser just has the soft keyboard pop up lik normal. Does anyone know how I can turn this behavior off so a white background doesn't pop up? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Add the following options to the imeOptions of the text field: flagNoFullscreen, flagNoExtractUi.
Most keyboards will respect these flags.
That's pretty much sums up the question. I have an AIR Mobile Flex App project in FlashDevelop that is using views to show content. Everything works fine, I can add a TextInput or TextArea to the stage, select it (Soft Keyboard shows up then), type some text. But when I press enter or change focus to the other element to hide the keyboard, the screen turns completely white except for the text that has been entered in the field.
Now it becomes interesting. If I rotate my tablet to force the screen to adjust, the content becomes again visible. Sometimes it doesn't even show a white screen, but rather a pitch black one that shows a blank preview when looking at the list of the running apps.
I cannot grasp the logic besides this behavior. It seems that somehow screen just doesn't want to redraw.
UPD:
AIR verison: 3.1
Tested on HYUNDAI SmartPad H-SP701G, Android 4.0.4
UPD2:
Tested on SANSUI ETAB 801VP, still getting the same effect.
The problem is in your application configuration XML.
Check your tag.
Entering value of "auto" or "cpu" should fix the problem.
<renderMode>auto</renderMode>
In my case I set direct and this was the cause of the issue. Using direct render mode caused the application to not work on HTC Evo 3D and Samsung galaxy s3. It did work on HTC Desire though.
I have a form-based app where each form is a scrollable layout of various types of view (RadioButton, Spinner, EditText views, etc). I have tested the app on a Galaxy Nexus with Android 4 and an Advent Vega with Android 4 and there are no issues with focus. I can scroll through the form without any problems.
However, when I test on the target device (a Android 3.2 Orange Tahiti which is a rebranded Huawei MediaPad), suddenly the focus behaviour is very different. It's difficult to know exactly what the tablet is trying to do. If I hide the soft keyboard and scroll, the tablet tries to focus on EditText views as they come into view and pops up the keyboard every time it successfully focuses which is very annoying. Also, on occasion the tablet will randomly jump to the last EditText in the form, scrolling the user away from their position in the form.
I have tried various focus settings (requestFocus, clearFocus(), descendantFocusability, etc) to no avail. However, I doubt the problem has anything to do with config as it works fine on other devices.
Is it possible that the focus behaviour in Honeycomb is different to all other versions of Android? I doubt it but it's worth finding out for sure before resorting to installing a custom ROM just in case I have overlooked a Honeycomb-specific config setting that might fix the problem.
Seems as this is a problem (or included "feature") of the branded version of Honeycomb that comes with an Orange Tahiti.
Upgrading to ICS will sort it out and scrolling, etc will behave as you would expect. Follow the below link for instructions...

I have a peculiar problem with Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P7500 (with Android 3.1)
When I clicked on any of the editable control in my web page, soft keyboard comes and its disturbs the alignment & make the controls in the page to overlap.
Similar problem also occurs, even without keyboard, in the landscape orientation.
Is anyone have similar problem and have pointers to fix this problem
Thanks in advance
