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

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 2

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; }
