Android: How to push button above soft keyboard

Question

I've got a "save" button which I want to push up together with the soft keyboard. So when the user clicks an EditText in my layout, then the button has to stay above the keyboard. Now the button becomes hidden underneath the keyboard. How do you do this?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You need to set your keyboard's input mode to adjustResize. You can do this adding the following line to your activity's attributes in the manifest:

    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" 

Here's an example of the attribute added in the activity:

<activity       android:name=".activity.MyActivity"      android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"> </activity> 

Answer 2

Along with Inthathep's answer, you have to add an attribute in the parent viewgroup

android:fitsSystemWindows="true" 

to work it as desired. i.e, in manifest file , for the activity add

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" 

and eg.

<LinearLayout     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:padding="10dp"     android:fitsSystemWindows="true" <!-- add this -->     android:orientation="vertical"     >     <EditText         android:id="@+id/et_assetview_comment"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         android:minHeight="80dp"         android:background="@color/white"         android:hint="Enter comments"         />     <Button         android:id="@+id/btn_assetview_postcomment"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:text="POST"         /> </LinearLayout>
