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

Try to use this:

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan"

Answer 2

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="adjustPan"

As in the below code, I have added to the Register Activity.

 <activity android:name=".Register"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">

In the second way, go to your activity, and in your onCreate method, add this code.

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);

Answer 3

Just a single line to be added...

Add android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan" in required activity of your manifest file.

I just got solved :) :)

Answer 4

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 > 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);

                    }
                }
            });

Answer 5

This one worked for me

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_NOTHING);

Answer 6

Well i have watched these answers but in my case i fell into the same issue and got refuge through a very handy and easiest solution that involves putting a very small innocent attribute in your Scrollview tag residing in your xml file. That is

android:isScrollContainer="false"

Good luck!
