Move layouts when soft keyboard is displayed?

Question

I have several elements in RelativeView with attribute of lower attribute align, when soft keyboard appears, elements are hidden using soft keyboard.

I would like them to move upward so that with sufficient screen space they are shown above the keyboard or so that a scroll scrolls over the section above the keyboard so that the user can still see the elements.

Any ideas on how to approach this?

Answer 1

Yes, check out this article on the Android Developers website for a description of how the framework handles the appearance of a soft keyboard.

The android:windowSoftInputMode can be used to indicate what happens based on activity: whether the layout changes or it scrolls.

Answer 2

You can also use this code in the onCreate() method:

 getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN); 

Answer 3

Add to AndroidManifest.xml for your activity:

 android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize" 

Answer 4

Make changes to the activity of your manifest file, for example

 windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" 

OR

Make changes to your onCreate() method in the activity class, e.g.

 getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);

A similar problem I came across with a layout consisting of scrolling inside. Whenever I try to select text in EditText, the Copy / Cut / Paste action bar moves up using the code below, since it doesn't resize the layout

 android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" 

Changing it as below

1) AndroidManifest.xml

 android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize" 

2) style.xml file, in action style

 <item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item> 

It worked. !!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

In AndroidManifest.xml, don't forget to set:

  android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" 

and for RelativeLayout inside ScrollView set:

  android:layout_gravity="center" or android:layout_gravity="bottom" 

everything will be fine

Answer 7

for activity in its built-in insert method below the line

 getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN); 

and for fragments in the onCreate method

 getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN); 

Answer 8

There are 3 steps to scroll up the screen.

1. Write in the manifest file for your activity:

android: windowSoftInputMode = "adjustResize"

2. Add the following line to the oncreate () method of your activity

GetWindow () setSoftInputMode (WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE | WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE).

3. Then put the whole view in a "Scrollview" in an XML file, for example:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/bg" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_gravity="center" > <TextView /> ......... <TextView /> <EditText > <requestFocus /> </EditText> <Button /> </RelativeLayout> </ScrollView> 

PS Remember to add android: layout_gravity = "center" to the parent relative layout.

I tried the Diego Ramirez method, it works. In AndroidManifest:

  <activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize"> ... </activity> 

In activity_main.xml:

 <LinearLayout ... android:orientation="vertical"> <Space android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" /> <EditText android:id="@+id/edName" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" android:hint="@string/first_name" android:inputType="textPersonName" /> <EditText ...> ... </LinearLayout> 

Answer 10

I found a solution to my problems that it is very similar to yours.

First of all, I only have LinearLayout with two elements, ImageView and LinearLayout, which have 2 EditText and one button, so I had to keep them separate in full screen mode without a keyboard, and when the keyboard appears, they should look closer.

So, I added a view between them with the height attribute in 0dp and a weight of 1, which allowed me to keep separate views from each other. and when the keyboard appears, since they do not have a correction height, they simply resize and retain the aspect.

Voila! The layout size changes, and the distance between my views is the same when the keyboard is present or absent.

Here is the full manifest code

 <activity android:name=".activities.MainActivity" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" android:label="@string/app_name"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> 

Answer 12

if you are in fragments then you should add the code below to your onCreate in your activity, it solves the problem for me

 getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN | WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN); 

Answer 13

In your manifest file, add the line below. It will work

 <activity name="MainActivity" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize"> ... </activity> 

Answer 14

Well, this is very late, but I found that if you add a list view under your edit text, the keyboard will move all layouts under that edit text without moving the ListView.

 <EditText android:id="@+id/et" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_width="match_parent" /> <ListView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"//can make as 1dp android:layout_below="@+id/et" // set to below editext android:id="@+id/view" > **<any layout** 

This is the only solution that worked for me.

Answer 15

 Here is the solution for this fix - android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" in Manifest File - Make a class "CommentKeyBoardFix.Java" and copy and paste the below code. public class CommentKeyBoardFix { private View mChildOfContent; private int usableHeightPrevious; private FrameLayout.LayoutParams frameLayoutParams; private Rect contentAreaOfWindowBounds = new Rect(); public CommentKeyBoardFix(Activity activity) { FrameLayout content = activity.findViewById(android.R.id.content); mChildOfContent = content.getChildAt(0); mChildOfContent.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(this::possiblyResizeChildOfContent); frameLayoutParams = (FrameLayout.LayoutParams) mChildOfContent.getLayoutParams(); } private void possiblyResizeChildOfContent() { int usableHeightNow = computeUsableHeight(); if (usableHeightNow != usableHeightPrevious) { int heightDifference = 0; if (heightDifference > (usableHeightNow /4)) { // keyboard probably just became visible frameLayoutParams.height = usableHeightNow - heightDifference; } else { // keyboard probably just became hidden frameLayoutParams.height = usableHeightNow; } mChildOfContent.layout(contentAreaOfWindowBounds.left, contentAreaOfWindowBounds.top, contentAreaOfWindowBounds.right, contentAreaOfWindowBounds.bottom); mChildOfContent.requestLayout(); usableHeightPrevious = usableHeightNow; } } private int computeUsableHeight() { mChildOfContent.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(contentAreaOfWindowBounds); return contentAreaOfWindowBounds.height(); } } And then call this class in your Activity or Fragment setContentView(R.layout.your_comments_layout) CommentKeyBoardFix(this) ---> For Kotlin or new CommentKeyBoardFix(this) ---> For Java 

Answer 16

I just added the following line to the top-level layout, and it worked:

 android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
