Android Question EditText and show soft Keyboard

[AlpVir]

How to catch the event that makes visible the soft keyboard ?
The IME Library does not seem to fit the bill.
If I have an app in portrait format and an EditText at the bottom, typing is not optimal (the EditText is hidden by the soft keyboard).
It would be easy to temporarily move the EditText at the top, but it should intercept the event mentioned above.
The following sub is also not optimal

Sub EditText1_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
    '--- move EditText1 at the top
     EditText1.SetLayout (0dip,0dip,100%x,100%y)
End Sub

Thanks in advance.

I do not know if this code is correct, but:

    IME1.Initialize("IME1")
    IME1.AddHeightChangedEvent

'...


Sub IME1_HeightChanged(NewHeight As Int, OldHeight As Int)
    ' NewHeight is the keyboard.top
    Dim KeyboardVisible As Boolean
    KeyboardVisible = (NewHeight < OldHeight)

    If Not(KeyboardVisible) Then
        ' Set here the EditText1 original top position
    Else

        If NewHeight < edtPrz.Top Then
            edtPrz.Top = NewHeight-EditText1.Height
        End If

    End If

End Sub

The code does exactly what I wanted.

"try this line in the manifest editor: SetActivityAttribute(main, android:windowSoftInputMode, adjustPan|stateHidden)"

Hi
Is it possible to hide the "Settings" button of the keyboard to prevent from user to change the keyboard settings?

You should have started a new thread for this question. It is not possible to disable the settings button. It is part of the keyboard.
