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:

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" />
more info can be found here.
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>
I have a main activity which has RelativeLaoyout # root and many other views including a GridView with 2 columns.
Now, clicking on one of the buttons opens a dialog which has an EditText in it.
When user taps in the EditText the whole RelativeLayout of the main activity is pushed upwards.
I have tried almost all of the solutions I could find on stackoverflow and various other forums but none has worked for me!
Things I have tried so far
Set android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
I also tried adjustNothing and adjustPan but nothing worked
Set android:isScrollContainer="false" for the GridView
I also tried setting it to true. But that didn't help either.
This issue is really bugging me very bad. Please someone help!
EDIT
Found a duplicate but that too is un-answered!
background layout moving when soft keyboard displayed - android
how adjust pan will work it just push ur edit text not ur whole background if ur edit text is in b/w the height of keyboard that comes up to the screen, the adjust pan just lift the edit text not the whole background screen and if ur edit text is above from the height of keyboard then no change will occur.
Do you have Fullscreen theme?
#android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.FullScreen
If so, try changing it to:
#android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar
It seems that in HoneyComb version and above the full screen theme setting overrides the windowSoftInputMode adjustResize or adjustPan settings.
I have 3 autocompletetextview's in which i set its adapter to be an ArrayAdapter<String> with a very simple textview layout.
The autocompletextview hint results are showing, but are under the onscreen keyboard(i can see part of it). how can i make the results show above the autocompletetextview rather than below?
airline = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.airline);
airline.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.autcomplete_dropdown, AIRLINES_AUTOCOMPLETE_ARRAY));
departLocation = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.departLocation);
departLocation.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.autcomplete_dropdown, LOCATIONS_AUTOCOMPLETE_ARRAY));
arriveLocation = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.arriveLocation);
arriveLocation.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.autcomplete_dropdown, LOCATIONS_AUTOCOMPLETE_ARRAY));
Simply limit the drop-down height.
android:dropDownHeight="200dp"
Then results don't hide by the soft keyboard.
Or else do this
The theory says that android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize" should do this but for some reason, it doesn't, so you have to do the same programmatically:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);
Use a ScrollView for the layout where your Autocomplete resides and Voila!
Does your Activity adjustResize?
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize"
reference: Move layouts up when soft keyboard is shown?
you should look here : Creating an input method
Composing text before committing
If your IME does text prediction or requires multiple steps to compose a glyph or word, you can show the progress in the text field until the user commits the word, and then you can replace the partial composition with the completed text. You may give special treatment to the text by adding a "span" to it when you pass it to InputConnection#setComposingText().
this way, suggestions will apears on soft keyboard prediction like auto-correction. An other way of doing it will be a fullScreen IME... with ExctractEditText : See this link...
This is what i usualy have seen in other apps... i don't think the autocompletetextview can be inverted and appears on top of the view, but what's strange is that it usually shows on top of the keyboard not bellow...
I had the same problem with this a little while ago. You Can try manipulating the z-index of the elements that are being hidden to force it to the top which would be your views in this case. Hope it works for you !
another quick solution is by using the attribute "android:dropDownAnchor"
to anchor the dropdown to some other view on top of screen
Add an attribute in your AndroidManifest.xml
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize"
Which will auto resize and adjust the soft keyboard.
Use
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize"
If none of the above solutions worked. try this
android:dropDownHeight="match_parent"
If we didn't mention the dropdown height, it would be considered wrap_content. Therefore the item will show behind the soft keyboard.
Take the autocomplete textviews in respective layouts then you see they opens their values in it only (ABOVE), set autocomplete texview (bottom) of each layouts, as per your question you required three child layouts.
it is really working
