Keyboard not being detected. MediaQuery.of(context).viewInsets.bottom always returns 0.0

Question

I have a scaffold with a TextField inside. The keyboard always covers this field when it previously would move the field above the keyboard. This is happening on all the pages i

I've had this issue recently. Do you have fullscreen set to true? If fullscreen is enabled, MediaQuery.viewInsets.bottom will return 0.0. Since you mentioned the problem only occurs in android, It's possible you set the fullscreen property in the native android files. Check styles.xml

    false

Other way to remove fullscreen from the app is SystemChrome.setEnabledSystemUIOverlays([]) in flutter page.

One more thing you might want to check is resizeToAvoidBottomPadding: to false in Scaffold.

The issue has been raised in Flutter issues as well: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/25050
