Android How do I prevent the soft keyboard from pushing my view up

Question

I have a vertical sliding drawer at the bottom of my app  When the soft keyboard opens  it pushes the tab for the drawer up  so it sits atop the keyboard  I actually want it to remain at the bottom of the screen  becoming hidden when the keyboard is shown    Anyone else run into this issue  Know how to fix it

You can simply switch your Activity s windowSoftInputModeflag to adjustPan in your AndroidMainfest xml file inside your activity tag  Check the official documentation for more info   lt activity           android windowSoftInputMode  quot adjustPan quot  gt    lt  activity gt   If your container is not changing size  then you likely have the height set to  quot match parent quot   If possible  set the parent to  quot Wrap Content quot   or a constraint layout with constraingts to top and bottom of parent  The parent container will shrink to fit the available space  so it is likely that your content should be inside of a scolling view to prevent  depending on the phone manufacturer and the layout choosen      Content being smashed together Content hanging off the screen Content being inacccessable due to it being underneath the keyboard  even if the layout it is in is a relative or constraint layout  the content could exhibit problems 1-3

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

The activity s main window will not resize to make room for the soft keyboard  Rather  the contents of the window will be automatically panned so that the current focus is never obscured by the keyboard and users can always see what they are typing   android windowSoftInputMode  adjustPan    This might be a better solution for what you desired

There are two ways of solving this problem  Go to the AndroidManifist xml  and in the name of your activity  add this line    android windowSoftInputMode  quot adjustPan quot   As in the below code  I have added to the Register Activity    lt activity android name  quot  Register quot              android windowSoftInputMode  quot adjustPan quot  gt   In the second way  go to your activity  and in your onCreate method  add this code  getWindow   setSoftInputMode WindowManager LayoutParams SOFT INPUT ADJUST PAN

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

For Scroll View   if after adding android windowSoftInputMode  stateHidden adjustPan  in your Android Manifest and still does not work    It may be affected because when the keyboard appears  it will be into a scroll view and if your button any objects  is not in your scroll view then the objects will follow the keyboard and move its position      Check out your xml where your button is and make sure it is under your scroll View bracket and not out of it   Hope this helps out   D
