How to avoid soft keyboard pushing up my layout?

I have a set of navigation buttons sitting at the bottom of each Activity. In some activities, I need a search textview at the top of it. However, whenever the user types something in the textview, the soft keyboard always pushes up my navigation buttons, even though it doesn't actually block the textview. It makes my UI looks funny. How can I force my navigation buttons to stay static where they are without ever being pushed by the soft keyboard? I have tried to set the Activity's windowSoftInputMode, but none of the configurations help.

Any suggestions? Thanks

windowSoftInputMode will either pan or resize your activity layout. One thing that you can do is to attach an onFocusChanged listener to your EditText and when the user selects/taps the EditText then you hide or move your navigation buttons out of the screen. When the EditText loses focus then you can put the navigation buttons back at the bottom of the activity.

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.

I did have the same problem and at first I added:

<activity
android:name="com.companyname.applicationname"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">

to my manifest file. But this alone did not solve the issue. Then as mentioned by Artem Russakovskii, I added:

<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:isScrollContainer="false">
</ScrollView>

in the scrollview.

This is what worked for me.

I had the same problem, but setting windowSoftInputMode did not help, and I did not want to change the upper view to have isScrollContainer="false" because I wanted it to scroll.

My solution was to define the top location of the navigation tools instead of the bottom. I'm using Titanium, so I'm not sure exactly how this would translate to android. Defining the top location of the navigation tools view prevented the soft keyboard from pushing it up, and instead covered the nav controls like I wanted.

Solved it by setting the naughty EditText:

etSearch = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.etSearch);


etSearch.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);


etSearch.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
etSearch.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
return false;
}
});

To solve this simply add android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan to that activity in android manifest file. for example

<activity
android:name="com.comapny.applicationname.activityname"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan"/>

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);
}
}
});
