Android How to adjust layout in Full Screen Mode when softkeyboard is visible

Question

I have researched a lot to adjust the layout when softkeyboard is active and I have successfully implemented it but the problem comes when I use android:theme=\"@andro

Answer 1

I tried many solutions include Joseph Johnson's and Johan Stuyts's. But as a result I got a white space between content and keyboard on some devices (like Lenovo s820) in all cases. So I made some changes to their codes and finally got working solution.

My idea based on adding margin to top of content when keyboard is showing.

contentContainer.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(contentAreaOfWindowBounds);
    int usableHeightNow = contentAreaOfWindowBounds.height();

    if (usableHeightNow != usableHeightPrevious) {

        int difference = usableHeightNow - usableHeightPrevious;

        if (difference < 0 && difference < -150) {
            keyboardShowed = true;
            rootViewLayout.topMargin -= difference + 30;
            rootViewLayout.bottomMargin += 30;
        }
        else if (difference < 0 && difference > -150){
            rootViewLayout.topMargin -= difference + 30;
        }
        else if (difference > 0 && difference > 150) {
            keyboardShowed = false;
            rootViewLayout.topMargin = 0;
            rootViewLayout.bottomMargin = 0;
        }

        rootView.requestLayout();

        Log.e("Bug Workaround", "Difference: " + difference);

        usableHeightPrevious = usableHeightNow;
}

As you can see, I add 30 px to difference because there is a small white space between top of the screen and content zone with margin. And I dont know whence it appears so I decided just make margins smaller and now it works exactly how I needed.
