Show entire bottom sheet with EditText above Keyboard

Question

I\'m implementing a UI where a bottom sheet will appear above the keyboard with an EditText for the user to enter a value. The problem is the View is being partially overlap

Answer 1

This might be a redundant answer. Although just pointing out the issue. If you're using BottomSheetDialogFragment, the only way is to enable the attribute android:windowIsFloating to true. This will enable the whole window to be on top of whatever is trying to take the space behind it.

<style name="BottomSheetDialogThemeNoFloating" parent="Theme.Design.Light.BottomSheetDialog">
        <item name="android:windowIsFloating">false</item>
        <item name="android:windowSoftInputMode">adjustResize|stateVisible</item>
</style>

Then in your onCreate() of your dialog, set this style.

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        // set the window no floating style
        setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NORMAL, R.style.AppRoundedBottomSheetDialogThemeNoFloating)
}

This is handy for those who frequently use bottom sheets and may want to deal with EditText and soft keyboard overlapping each other.

Note: The class KeyboardUtil by mikepenz has an issue in which on certain phones, the content view with input field is automatically pushed above keyboard despite giving bottom padding to the whole content view supplied.

Some answers seem to do the trick better than others but will need modification when using the new material design components instead of the older support libraries while also using kotlin

Hope this will help someone.

BottomSheetDialog(this, R.style.DialogStyle).apply {
    setContentView(layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.bottom_sheet, null))
    window?.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE)
    findViewById<EditText>(R.id.time_et)?.requestFocus()

    show()
}
