Android Question IME library error

[uniplan]

I have tried to use IME library but when I add the statement:

IME.AddHeightChangedEvent

I have this error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first.

Can you post your code?

 

[uniplan]

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   


    'Initialize the NavDrawer object. This modifies the internal Layout structure of your Activity
    'and adds the Navigationdrawer.
    'Attention: THIS HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE LOADING A LAYOUT TO THE ACTIVITY!
    NavDrawer.Initialize2("NavDrawer", Activity, NavDrawer.DefaultDrawerWidth, NavDrawer.GRAVITY_START)
    Activity.LoadLayout("frmMainAutista")

    creazione_action_bar_e_menu

    If FirstTime=True Then
        rsz.rszMAP.Initialize
        rsz.setta_scala(Activity)
        cnb.Initialize(Colors.LightGray,5)
        'spnAutomezzi.Background=cnb
        acspnAutomezzi.Background=cnb
        'spnAutomezzi.DropdownBackgroundColor=cnb
        'pgWheel1.Initialize("pgw")
        bg.Initialize(1000)
        timer_beacon.Initialize("timerBeacon",1000)
        timer_nota_vocale.Initialize("timer_nota_vocale",1000)
        timer_nota_vocaleODS.Initialize("timer_nota_vocaleODS",1000)
        avs.Initialize
        ods_attivo.Initialize
        man_str_attiva.Initialize
       
        imageFolder = Starter.rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("")
        spmMANcatMap.Initialize
        lstViewMANelencoMAP.Initialize
        audioGest.Initialize("frmMainAutista","audioGest_esito")
        audioGestODS.Initialize("frmMainAutista","audioGestODS_esito")
       
        IME1.Initialize("IME1")
        IME1.AddHeightChangedEvent

    End If
   
    ridimensiona
   
End Sub

 

[Erel]

There is a conflict between NavDrawer and IME.AddHeightChangedEvent. As I'm not familiar with NavDrawer implementation I cannot tell you whether you can use both in some way or not.

 

[uniplan]

You know an alternative to NavDrawer that does not conflict with IME?

 

[Erel]

Here is the solution:

Add this sub:

Sub InitializeNavDrawerAndIME
   ime.Initialize("ime")
   ime.AddHeightChangedEvent
   Dim e As Panel = Activity.Parent
   e.RemoveAllViews
   Dim p As Panel = e.Parent
   p.RemoveAllViews
   p.AddView(Activity, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y)
   'Initialize the NavDrawer object. This modifies the internal Layout structure of your Activity
   'and adds the Navigationdrawer.
   'Attention: THIS HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE LOADING A LAYOUT TO THE ACTIVITY!
   NavDrawer.Initialize2("NavDrawer", Activity, NavDrawer.DefaultDrawerWidth, NavDrawer.GRAVITY_START)
   p = Activity.Parent
   Dim p2 As Panel = p.Parent
   p.RemoveView
   p2.AddView(e, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y)
   e.AddView(p, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y)
End Sub

Call InitializeNavDrawerAndIME instead of the call to NavDrawer.Initialize2.

I try it.
I haven't error, but ime_HeightChanged event don't rised when keyboard show.

 

[Erel]

Have you added the line from the tutorial to the manifest editor?

 

[uniplan]

No I haven't.
Now all is OK.
Thanks.

For me, Erel's sub worked to a point, but I experienced a problem of not being able to swipe left to close the nav drawer after it was displayed.

The solution from Semen in this post did not have this issue and worked perfectly for me:
