Since the feedbackText edittext is a child of the panel, did you try this and still have issues.

I created a similar project without the B4XPages method and it works. Can you please tell us if you solved it or not.

I would rather not deal with private data, but I created a simple project for you that raises and lifts the edittext views and button above the keyboard when the focus shifts to the edittext(s) They are on a tabstripviewpager on the second activity other than main.

I have played with your example and added stuff to it etc all works perfectly. In my app the Sub IME_HeightChanged just never fires. So I figured something is interfering with it, and I went through my manifest file again and found I had this down lower SetActivityAttribute(vehicleonly, android:windowSoftInputMode, adjustResize|stateHidden) SetActivityAttribute(vehicleonly, android:windowSoftInputMode, "stateHidden|adjustPan") I don't know why..... Anyway removed the second entry and now IME_HeightChanged fires and I'm all smiles again Thank you for all your effort - Mark this mystery as solved. Upvote 0
