Here is a layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0px"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<FrameLayout
android:background="#0000ff"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0px"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0px"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
I want blue bar to remain intact when EditText is touched and soft keyboard appears. I.e. I want its size and position to be preserved. I tried all four possible values for my activity's parameter android:windowSoftInputMode
in the AndroidManifest. And always my blue bar moves or shrinks on soft keyboard appearing:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustUnspecified"
or by default:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
or android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing"
:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
:
Is it ever possible to keep it the same size and position when soft keyb appears?
You can force Android to hide the virtual keyboard using the InputMethodManager, calling hideSoftInputFromWindow , passing in the token of the window containing your focused view. This will force the keyboard to be hidden in all situations. In some cases, you will want to pass in InputMethodManager.
The soft keyboard (also called the onscreen keyboard) is the main input method on Android devices, and almost every Android developer needs to work with this component at some point.
you must use <ScrollView>
as main layout.
example:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
....
</ScrollView>
or use this code in AndroidManiFest.xml:
<activity
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing">
</activity>
Since the input is coming into an EditText
of yours, it's always going to move something.
Consider having two layouts, one for when the keyboard is down, one for when the keyboard is up.
Using a ViewSwitcher
may help with that.
