DialogFragment not resizing when keyboard shown

Question

I'm trying to use a SherlockDialogFragment to ask some input from the user. Everything works fine on my phone (Galaxy Nexus, 4.2), but on a smaller phone (emulator 2.3.3), when the keyboard shows up, it covers the two buttons of the DialogFragment, like this:

My layout is inside a ScrollView, and I'm changing the softInputMode to SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE on my onViewCreated. I also tried SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN, and it didn't work

MyCustomDialog.java

public class AddTaskDialog extends SherlockDialogFragment implements OnDateSetListener{
//...
    @Override
    public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
        getDialog().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);
    }
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Use the Builder class for convenient dialog construction
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
        this.inflater =  getActivity().getLayoutInflater();
        View mainView =inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_dialog, null);
        builder.setView(mainView);
        this.taskNote = (EditText) mainView.findViewById(R.id.ET_taskNote);
        this.taskText = (EditText) mainView.findViewById(R.id.ET_taskText);
        this.taskValue = (EditText) mainView.findViewById(R.id.ET_taskValue);
        /*
         * Other stuff
         */
        builder.setTitle(getString(R.string.new_task, hType.toString()))
               .setPositiveButton(R.string.dialog_confirm_button, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                   public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                    //...
                    }
               })
               .setNegativeButton(R.string.dialog_cancel_button, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                   public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                       // User cancelled the dialog
                   }
               });
        // Create the AlertDialog object and return it
        return builder.create();
    }
}

And here is my layout:

custom_dialog.xml

<LinearLayout 
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" 
android:background="@color/abs__background_holo_light">
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin">
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/TV_taskText"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/task_text"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/ET_taskText"
            android:layout_width="0dip"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:ems="10"
            android:hint="@string/create_task_hint"
            android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
            android:singleLine="true" />

    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" >
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/TV_taskNote"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/task_note"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/ET_taskNote"
            android:layout_width="0dip"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:minLines="2"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:ems="10"
            android:inputType="textMultiLine"
            android:hint="@string/task_note_hint">

        </EditText>

    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/repeat_days"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="48dp"
        android:layout_gravity="top"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:visibility="gone"
        android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin">
        <!-- Day buttons are put here programatically -->
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

So, could you help me, and guide me on how to show those buttons? Either to PAN the view or let it resize...

Answer 1

Set the windowSoftInputMode property to adjustNothing in the AndroidManifest.xml of the activities that use the dialog fragment.

<activity
    ...
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing">
...

and onCreateDialog to hide the soft input:

...
Dialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
return dialog;
}

FYI: https://developer.android.com/training/keyboard-input/visibility.html#ShowOnStart

Answer 2

I just use the following line in my DialogFragment:

getDialog().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);

And nothing else, see here full example:

    public class TextEditor extends DialogFragment {

    public TextEditor () {

    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_text_editor, container);

        //set to adjust screen height automatically, when soft keyboard appears on screen 
        getDialog().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);

        //[add more custom code...]
        return view;
    }
}

Answer 3

Be sure that the layout is inside a scroll view:

<ScrollView
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent">

  -->your layout here 
</ScrollView>

and follow Dirk comment:

 @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_text_editor, container);

//add this line 
getDialog().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);

      //[add more custom code...]
      return view;
    }

Answer 4

Even though it is a little late for a reply, since the question is in DialogFragment, the following code solves my issue.

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...

    // Setting STYLE_NO_FRAME allows popup dialog fragment to resize after keyboard is shown
    setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_FRAME, R.style.theme_popupdialog_style);
}

@Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    final Dialog dialog = super.onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState);
    dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);

    dialog.getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    dialog.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);

    return dialog;
}

As for the style theme, I applied the following code

/** must put parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog for it to work */
<style name="theme_popupdialog_style" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
    <item .... >...</item>
</style>

Answer 5

This can also be caused by:

<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>

Try to remove it from your theme.

Answer 6

Apart the changes mentioned in other answers also check the theme of dialogfragment
From my experiments, "android:windowIsFloating" attribute seems to affect how the window reacts to the soft input.

It you set this to false, the window won't slide up when the keyboard becomes visible.

Answer 7

This solution worked like a charm.

Inside styles:

    <style name="BottomSheetDialogTheme" parent="Theme.Design.Light.BottomSheetDialog">
        <item name="bottomSheetStyle">@style/AppModalStyle</item>
        <item name="android:windowIsFloating">false</item>
        <item name="android:windowSoftInputMode">adjustResize</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppModalStyle" parent="Widget.Design.BottomSheet.Modal">
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/rounded_corner_dialog</item>
    </style>

Here android:windowIsFloating should be false & android:windowSoftInputMode must be adjustResize.

Wrap layout inside NestedScrollView

<androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

     <--Rest of the layout-->
</androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>

Answer 8

As already mentioned, android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" and dialog.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WIndowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE); are the right way of doing this.

BUT. If your view is not resizeable at all, then your buttons in the bottom will still be hidden. In my case, this hack was enough:

I set android:layout_weight for top views, so that when keyboard opens and dialog is resized — top views would be hidden:

Answer 9

For DialogFragment, it seems that applying SoftInputMode only works if setted from inside the DialogFragment class, not the caller class:

@Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

getDialog().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);    

}

Also, for onStart method, I added the following to expand dialog layout horizontally:

@Override
    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        getDialog().getWindow().setLayout(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    }
