[android] How to adjust layout when soft keyboard appears

For those using ConstraintLayout, android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize" will not work.

What you can do is use a soft keyboard listener, set constraints of the views from bottom to bottom of the upper views, then set a vertical bias for each view (as a positional percentage between constraints) to a horizontal guideline (also positioned by percentage, but to the parent).

For each view, we just need to change app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf to @+id/guideline when the keyboard is shown, programmatically of course.

        <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/loginLogo"
        ...
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.15" />


        <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/loginFields"
        ...
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias=".15"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/loginLogo">

        <Button
        android:id="@+id/login_btn"
        ...
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias=".25"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/loginFields"/>

Generally a soft keyboard takes up no more than 50% of the height of the screen. Thus, you can set the guideline at 0.5.

        <android.support.constraint.Guideline
        android:id="@+id/guideline"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.5"/>

Now programmatically, when the keyboard is not shown, we can set all the app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf back to parent, vice-versa.

            unregistrar = KeyboardVisibilityEvent.registerEventListener(this, isOpen -> {
            loginLayout.startAnimation(AnimationManager.getFade(200));
            if (isOpen) {
                setSoftKeyViewParams(loginLogo, R.id.guideline, ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.PARENT_ID, -1, "235:64", 0.15f,
                        63, 0, 63, 0);
                setSoftKeyViewParams(loginFields, R.id.guideline, -1, R.id.loginLogo, null, 0.15f,
                        32, 0, 32, 0);
                setSoftKeyViewParams(loginBtn, R.id.guideline, -1, R.id.useFingerPrintIdText, null, 0.5f,
                        32, 0, 32, 0);
            } else {
                setSoftKeyViewParams(loginLogo, ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.PARENT_ID, ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.PARENT_ID, -1, "235:64", 0.15f,
                        63, 0, 63, 0);
                setSoftKeyViewParams(loginFields, ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.PARENT_ID, -1, R.id.loginLogo,null, 0.15f,
                        32, 0, 32, 0);
                setSoftKeyViewParams(loginBtn, ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.PARENT_ID, -1, R.id.useFingerPrintIdText,null, 0.25f,
                        32, 0, 32, 0);
            }
        });

Call this method:

    private void setSoftKeyViewParams(View view, int bottomToBottom, int topToTop, int topToBottom, String ratio, float verticalBias,
                                  int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
    ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams viewParams = new ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams(view.getLayoutParams().width, view.getLayoutParams().height);
    viewParams.dimensionRatio = ratio;
    viewParams.bottomToBottom = bottomToBottom;
    viewParams.topToTop = topToTop;
    viewParams.topToBottom = topToBottom;
    viewParams.endToEnd = ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.PARENT_ID;
    viewParams.startToStart = ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.PARENT_ID;
    viewParams.verticalBias = verticalBias;
    viewParams.setMargins(Dimensions.dpToPx(left), Dimensions.dpToPx(top), Dimensions.dpToPx(right), Dimensions.dpToPx(bottom));
    view.setLayoutParams(viewParams);
}

The important thing is to be sure to set the vertical bias in a way that would scale correctly when the keyboard is shown and not shown.
