Android Question Keyboard Hiding Input Text

EduardoElias · Oct 2, 2018

Hi there!

I have a layout with several input text

I use it fine already for years in my app. Recently I noticed that when the keyboard is opened (when focus get on the edit box) it does not scroll the application anymore.

Not sure what was changed at all

Android 4.4.4 Tablet Samsung Tab E, B4A 8.5

I need that the screen app scroll since the user is filling in the fields and hinting next, at some point the fields will be under the keyboard and cant see what is happening.

Thanks

Did you change something in manifest (relative to keyboard). Or maybe IME ? Do you use it ?

This is my current manifest. I remember that work correctly before, but something changed and I only noted this recently, I cant track where or what changed for this

I created a new project and placed two edittext in layout.
Tested in emulator of API 19 with your and standard manifest
Works normally.

Maybe IME ? Do you use it ?

BTW, why targetSdkVersion="14" ?

Actually I have IME define because I have a button on the top to close the keyboard

Sub hidekeyboard
Dim IME1 As IME
IME1.Initialize("")
IME1.HideKeyboard
End Sub

That is all. I test removing it and the problem continues.

No ideas. Because initial variant (standard manifest + 2 edittext in layout) works without problems, I see typical way only - to find "bad code" by removing parts of program until app will begin to work again.

Try to force the keyboard adjust mode to pan:

B4X:

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

If it doesn't work, you will need to use adjustResize and handle the resize yourself.
