Move Layouts Up When Soft Keyboard Is Shown

Move layouts up when soft keyboard is shown?

Yes, check out this article on the Android developers' site which describes how the framework handles the soft keyboard appearing.

The android:windowSoftInputMode attribute can be used to specify what happens on a per-activity basis: whether the layout is resized or whether it scrolls etc.

How to move the layout up when the soft keyboard is shown android

I somehow achieved this by knowing the status of the soft keyboard on the device. i move the layout to y position when the keyboard is shown and moved back to its original position when not shown. this works fine, followed this guidelines.

Move layout up when soft keyboard is shown

I ended up doing it my way.

I created a class that implements OnFocusChangeListener to handle all my EditText:

public class EditTextFocusChangeListener implements OnFocusChangeListener {

    private ScrollView scrollView;

    public EditTextFocusChangeListener(ScrollView scrollView) {
        this.scrollView = scrollView;
    }

    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean hasFocus) {
        if(hasFocus) {
            int left = view.getLeft();
            int top = view.getTop();
            int bottom = view.getBottom();
            int keyboardHeight = scrollView.getHeight() / 3;

            // if the bottom of edit text is greater than scroll view height divide by 3,
            // it means that the keyboard is visible
            if (bottom > keyboardHeight)  {
                // increase scroll view with padding
                scrollView.setPadding(0, 0, 0, keyboardHeight);
                // scroll to the edit text position
                scrollView.scrollTo(left, top);
            }
        }
    }
}

Then in the activity, I setted the listener for each edit text:

EditTextFocusChangeListener listener = new EditTextFocusChangeListener(mainScrollView);

editText1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
editText1.setOnFocusChangeListener(listener);

editText2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2);
editText2.setOnFocusChangeListener(listener);

...

editTextN = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextN);
editTextN.setOnFocusChangeListener(listener); 

And for the last edit text, I setted an EditorAction listerner to handle the 'Done' button on soft keyboard - to hide the keyboard and put the scroll view back to its original position:

editTextN.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            int result = actionId & EditorInfo.IME_MASK_ACTION;
            switch(result) {
                // user taped on keyboard DONE button
                case EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE:
                    // put the scroll view back to its original position
                    mainScrollView.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
                    // hide keyboard
                    ((InputMethodManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
                    // remove focus from any edit text
                    LinearLayout scrollViewLL = (LinearLayout) mainScrollView.getChildAt(0);
                    scrollViewLL.requestFocus();
                break;
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

And finally, a way to handle when the user touches outside an edit text to hide the keyboard and put the scroll view back to its original position (found this on web and changed a little to fit my needs):

public void setupUI(View view) {
    // Set up touch listener for non-text box views to hide keyboard.
    if (!(view instanceof EditText)) {
        view.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { 

                // put the scroll view back to its original position
                if (v instanceof ScrollView) {
                    v.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
                    LinearLayout scrollViewLL = (LinearLayout) ((ScrollView) v).getChildAt(0);
                    scrollViewLL.requestFocus();
                }

                hideKeyboard();
                return false;
            }
        });
    }

    // If a layout container, iterate over children and seed recursion.
    if (view instanceof ViewGroup) {
        for (int i = 0; i < ((ViewGroup) view).getChildCount(); i++) {
            View innerView = ((ViewGroup) view).getChildAt(i);
            setupUI(innerView);
        }
    }
}

How to adjust layout when soft keyboard appears

Just add

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

in your AndroidManifest.xml where you declare this particular activity and this will adjust the layout resize option.

some source code below for layout design

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:text="FaceBook"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
        android:ems="10"
        android:hint="username" >

        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText2"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:ems="10"
        android:hint="password" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/editText2"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginLeft="18dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:text="Log In" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="17dp"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="Sign up for facebook"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

</RelativeLayout>

android move layout up when soft keyboard is shown with viewpagers

I may mistake, but cause of this problem is probably the known Android bug.

So, firstly, you need to add android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize" inside your <activity> tag.

Secondly, you need to add this class to your project:

public class AndroidBug5497Workaround {

    // For more information, see https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5497
    // To use this class, simply invoke assistActivity() on an Activity that already has its content view set.

    public static void assistActivity (Activity activity) {
        new AndroidBug5497Workaround(activity);
    }
    private View mChildOfContent;
    private int usableHeightPrevious;
    private FrameLayout.LayoutParams frameLayoutParams;

    private AndroidBug5497Workaround(Activity activity) {
        FrameLayout content = (FrameLayout)  activity.findViewById(android.R.id.content);
        mChildOfContent = content.getChildAt(0);
        mChildOfContent.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
            public void onGlobalLayout() {
                possiblyResizeChildOfContent();
            }
        });
        frameLayoutParams = (FrameLayout.LayoutParams) mChildOfContent.getLayoutParams();
    }

    private void possiblyResizeChildOfContent() {
        int usableHeightNow = computeUsableHeight();
        if (usableHeightNow != usableHeightPrevious) {
            int usableHeightSansKeyboard = mChildOfContent.getRootView().getHeight();
            int heightDifference = usableHeightSansKeyboard - usableHeightNow;
            if (heightDifference > (usableHeightSansKeyboard/4)) {
                // keyboard probably just became visible
                frameLayoutParams.height = usableHeightSansKeyboard - heightDifference;
                } else {
                // keyboard probably just became hidden
                frameLayoutParams.height = usableHeightSansKeyboard;
            }
            mChildOfContent.requestLayout();
            usableHeightPrevious = usableHeightNow;
        }
    }

    private int computeUsableHeight() {
        Rect r = new Rect();
        mChildOfContent.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);
        return (r.bottom - r.top);
    }

}

And then simply use it by calling assistActivity() method in your MainActivity that holds ViewPagers:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(...);
    AndroidBug5497Workaround.assistActivity(this);
    ...
}

Complete Layout moves upwards if Soft Keyboard is shown

Try below code, It works for me

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@color/colorBackGround"
            android:orientation="vertical">

           //toolbar code here

            <RelativeLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="0dp"
                android:isScrollContainer="true"
                android:layout_weight="1">

                <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
                    android:id="@+id/recyclerMessages"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="match_parent"
                    android:clipToPadding="false"
                    android:padding="@dimen/_10sdp" />

            </RelativeLayout>


           //comment layout code here

        </LinearLayout>

and add below type in manifest

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustUnspecified"
