Since you are using customlistview, you can use IME library to to control the height of the keyboard https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/ime-library-soft-keyboard.14834/#content

I have added the following line in the manifest file:

B4X:

SetActivityAttribute(main, android:windowSoftInputMode, adjustResize|stateHidden)

then I added the following subroutine:

B4X:

Sub Globals
    Private clvAdaugaLucrare As CustomListView
    Dim keyboard As IME
    Dim px As B4XView
End Sub

Sub keyboard_HeightChanged(NewHeight As Int, OldHeight As Int)
    px = clvAdaugaLucrare.GetPanel(0)
If NewHeight > OldHeight Then
    px.SetLayoutAnimated(0,0,0,Activity.Width, 480dip + NewHeight)
End If
End Sub

but opening the keyboard (focus in an edittext) does not reach the keyboard_HeightChanged

You might not need the manifest entry, but you do need these lines in you Activity _Create so it will generate the event:

B4X:

IME.Initialize("IME")
IME.AddHeightChangedEvent

I have many apps that properly resize views in response to the keyboard_resize event and I do not have any manifest entries for those activities.

Take a look at this thread though:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-keyboard-with-the-ime-library.14832/#content
where Erel writes:
Update: You should explicitly set the adjustSize mode with the manifest editor. This is done by adding the following manifest editor code (for each activity):

Also you need to match the event name to the IME. Initialize ("IME" as in my example instead of "keyboard"):

B4X:

Sub IME_HeightChanged(NewHeight As Int, OldHeight As Int)
