Let's say we have a sample form in an Android Phonegap application (download source code).
The form has a very long list of input text fields.
Every time we focus input on a field, the keyboard is popup and the focused field is scrolled accordingly so that it sits on the top of the keyboard as below snapshot.
My question is: How can we make the form remain/not scroll its fields position - i.e. when we focus a field, the popup keyboard will overlap the bottom of the form no matter what fields it is overlapping?
Try this. Maybe working but not sure SEE HERE
<activity
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
android:name=".youractivity" android:label="#string/app_name" >

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)
In the layout file of one of my activities I've got 2 inputs at the top and at the bottom and a next button.
The problem is, when keyboard shows, it covers the button. How can I bring the views above keyboard?

You can use android:windowSoftInputMode attribute to specify what should happen whether the layout is resized or whether it scrolls.
In your manifest file
<activity name=".YourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize">
...
</activity>

Just put in manifest..
Use "adjustResize"
It makes main window always resized to make room for the soft keyboard on screen.
<application
......

<activity
.............................
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustResize" />
</application>
I have an Activity screen with a form that has a text area, and text below the form. When the screen opens, for some reason, the keyboard pops up automatically and blocks the bottom part of the screen for the user, causing some confusion since they don't get to see the text that is below.
Is there a way to not make the keyboard pop up by default and only have it pop up when the user clicks inside the text area?
Thanks!
In your manifest file use this
<activity
android:name=".YourActivityName"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" />
Use this attributes on the textarea in your xml file
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
I have created a login page. If I insert some text in edit text (username, password) etc then a softkeyboard is visible. but it comes on my password field view. So upper half of password field is visible while lower half is not because of that softkeyboard. I want when the softkeyboard is visible the password field to move up a little, so that the entire edittext will be visible.
Thanks
add this line in your menifest.xml file
<activity android:name=".your_activity" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"></activity>
Your layout should shift up automatically when it has focus and the softkeyboard is displaying. I have a login form and I've done nothing special to get this behaviour.
One way you can solve this is by having a ScrollView as the root of your layout.
I am designing an Android app and I'm having a couple of layout issues.
I have a screen with 3 EditTexts on it in a row, and I would like for the 'next' key on the soft keyboard to cycle between the EditText fields. As for now, the 'next' key has no effect.
Also, when the soft keyboard is displayed, it covers up the third of the EditTexts. Is there any way to push up the layout in the event that the soft keyboard is drawn?
Thanks!
For the second problem, on your <activity> element of the AndroidManifest.xml use android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize":
<activity android:name=".YourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
</activity>
Make sure you have wrapped the content of your layout into a ScrollView, so that it will be easily browsable.
