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

Answer 1

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.
