I am developing an application for android devices, which manages TV channels and shows. In it there is an option for the user to add channels in the system using a custom widget. The widget uses autocompleteTextView. My layout does not adjust itself when the soft keyboard appears.
These are the 2 states of the layout:
The keyboard blocks the user from viewing the options in the dropdown and the field below it. I have already tried the solution here and here. But none of them got it to work.
I want to move the layout of the widget itself, rather then the whole layout behind. How to go about this problem?

i like to show an image view in my android custom keyboard (in app not a system keyboard). So far i tried adding one but it does not appear in the view. Do you know whether android supports adding custom views into a keyboard ?
I have searched for various answers for this particular problem but could not find one. I am developing an android application and I am currently up to arranging the layouts.
My problem is when a soft keyboard opens up in a form containing lots of input fields, the buttons at the bottom also keeps coming up. What I want is the buttons should not come up and along with this the form should be scrollable to bottom of the layout while the soft keyboard is still visible.
Before I was trying lots of modes combinations for windowSoftInputMode inside AndroidManifest.xml in the respective activity, but could not get any satisfactory result.
Screenshots:
The normal form (shown the bottom part) looks like this:
When the soft keyboard opens up, it cuts the lower portion i.e. I am unable to scroll the layout further.
I somehow managed to remove the buttons using following code, I do not know whether this is correct or not:
<activity
android:name=".usermanagement.SignUp"
android:label="साइन अप"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan" />
Now I am wondering whether I can scroll to the bottom of the layout while keeping the soft keyboard active and not showing the buttons(Home button and Next button)
I am developing a softkeyboard I have tried several codes in the main.xml file but none of the codes display the keyboard in graphical view
Please Help
The soft keyboard won't show up in the graphical view because it is a custom view -- the graphical view is designed for basic android widgets only. When you start using anything but the main Android widgets (i.e. TextView, ScrollView, Button, etc.), you're going to have to code it in XML.
The keyboard's layout and drawing methods change dynamically based on the number of keys, the keyboard theme, key icons, etc. This happens at runtime and thus cannot be displayed before the app is run.
In my Android application running in a XOOM device, when I click in an Edittext the keyboard opens and hides the Actionbar. I don't want this to happen, how can I solve this? This is done by the Google Contacts app for the tablet for example.
EDIT:
I have several edittexts in which the user needs fo fill. At first, when the user clicked on one edittext on the bottom, the keyboard showed up and hide the edittext in which the user was typing, so he couldn't see what he was typing. I found it really bad, and to solve it I just added to the manifest: android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan"
But after that, now the screen adjust itselfs and hides the action bar.
The Google Contacts app does the same, but it magically doesn't hide the Action bar. How do they do it?
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've created a custom IME for Android tablets and I'm having trouble resizing when the screen is in horizontal orientation. Whenever an EditText is clicked while the screen is horizontal, the IME takes over the entire screen with the standard EditText and Button combo with my custom IME at the bottom of the screen. However, I'd like for the IME to simply pop up without that and type directly into the field that was originally clicked, as it does in horizontal orientation. I've looked at the SoftKeyboard example, which accomplishes this (at least on honeycomb) and can't find exactly where they are setting that effect.
Sorry if this is a duplicate, I've tried searching but couldn't find this exact question.
If anyone else is having this issue, you can prevent your IME from entering fullscreen mode by overriding the onEvaluateFullscreenMode() method, which is what determines whether or not your IME will display in full screen.
Now I'm having different issues but that's for a different thread!
