How to avoid soft keyboard pushing up my layout

Question

I have a set of navigation buttons sitting at the bottom of each Activity  In some activities  I need a search textview at the top of it  However  whenever the user types something in the textview  the soft keyboard always pushes up my navigation buttons  even though it doesn t actually block the textview  It makes my UI looks funny  How can I force my navigation buttons to stay static where they are without ever being pushed by the soft keyboard  I have tried to set the Activity s windowSoftInputMode  but none of the configurations help   Any suggestions   Thanks

In my case  the reason the buttons got pushed up was because the view above them was a ScrollView  and it got collapsed with the buttons pushed up above the keyboard no matter what value of android windowSoftInputMode I was setting   I was able to avoid my bottom row of buttons getting pushed up by the soft keyboard by setting   android isScrollContainer  false     on the ScrollView that sits above the buttons

I had the same problem  but setting windowSoftInputMode did not help  and I did not want to change the upper view to have isScrollContainer  false  because I wanted it to scroll   My solution was to define the top location of the navigation tools instead of the bottom  I m using Titanium  so I m not sure exactly how this would translate to android  Defining the top location of the navigation tools view prevented the soft keyboard from pushing it up  and instead covered the nav controls like I wanted

windowSoftInputMode will either pan or resize your activity layout  One thing that you can do is to attach an onFocusChanged listener to your EditText and when the user selects taps the EditText then you hide or move your navigation buttons out of the screen  When the EditText loses focus then you can put the navigation buttons back at the bottom of the activity

Solved it by setting the naughty EditText   etSearch    EditText  view findViewById R id etSearch    etSearch setInputType InputType TYPE NULL    etSearch setOnTouchListener new OnTouchListener          Override     public boolean onTouch View v  MotionEvent event            etSearch setInputType InputType TYPE CLASS TEXT           return false

I did have the same problem and at first I added    lt activity     android name  com companyname applicationname      android windowSoftInputMode  adjustPan  gt    to my manifest file  But this alone did not solve the issue  Then as mentioned by Artem Russakovskii  I added    lt ScrollView     android layout width  fill parent      android layout height  fill parent      android isScrollContainer  false  gt   lt  ScrollView gt    in the scrollview    This is what worked for me

For future readers   I wanted specific control over this issue  so this is what I did   From a fragment or activity  hide your other views  that aren t needed while the keyboard is up   then restore them to solve this problem       rootView getViewTreeObserver   addOnGlobalLayoutListener new ViewTreeObserver OnGlobalLayoutListener           Override      public void onGlobalLayout             Rect r   new Rect            rootView getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame r           int heightDiff   rootView getRootView   getHeight   -  r bottom - r top            if  heightDiff  gt  100       if more than 100 pixels  its probably a keyboard                 ok now we know the keyboard is up               view one setVisibility View GONE              view two setVisibility View GONE              else                ok now we know the keyboard is down               view one setVisibility View VISIBLE              view two setVisibility View VISIBLE

To solve this simply add android windowSoftInputMode  stateVisible adjustPan to that activity in android manifest file  for example   lt activity      android name  com comapny applicationname activityname      android screenOrientation  portrait      android windowSoftInputMode  stateVisible adjustPan   gt
