A amvader New Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 17, 2012 #1 I'm somewhat of a newb, sorry. This seems as if it should be easy. The IME post's I have not gone through thoroughly...They seem much more in depth then what I'm trying. Prob: I have an edittext that won't 'slide' above the softkeyboard. I've seen forum posts dealing with the manifest an ran those examples to some degree. But, my edit texts are in a tabhost which I believe may be a part of the prob. I've modified the example kbproblem posted originally by Nickkat in the forum to have a tabhost (this is in part what my project has but is 'stripped down') What happens is the edit text on tab1 slides up, but not tab2. Also, tab1 edit text no longer slides if tab2 has had focus before tab1. I've attached the example back as kbproblem2. Thanks

M Mahares Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jul 17, 2012 #2 I think your listview above the edittext view may be preventing the slide. I added one line below your 2 tabhost1 lines and that took care of it. See below: Code: Copy tabhost1.AddTab ("tab1", "tab1") 'load the layout file of each page tabhost1.AddTab("tab2", "tab2") listview1.Visible=False Upvote 0

A amvader New Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 17, 2012 #3 Thank you Mahares and Thanks for the quick reply! I knew it had to be something small. But what implications does this have? Do I have to set visible = false for any views that would be in the way of sliding an edittext up in the same tab/panel/view that is in focus/ or containing the edittext? (I'll experiment w different views/view combos) Somehow I've not found documentation that summarizes this behavior. Upvote 0

nfordbscndrd Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 18, 2012 #4 The main reason I created custom keyboard code was that the sliding (default) keyboard was causing problems in my app. With a custom keyboard, you can create a smaller keyboard and/or split the keyboard and/or place the keyboard anywhere you want on the screen so that it will not get in the way. The down side is that it's a bit of work to implement, so it might be overkill in your situation. Upvote 0

C CaffeinatedTech New Member Jun 24, 2013 #5 I'm having the same problem. It wasn't clear what the fix was here? you had a view that was blocking the scroll effect somehow? I have two tabs on a tabhost, clicking edittext box on first tab makes the control scroll up when the keyboard appears. Clicking an edittext box on the second tab does not. Keyboard slides up and covers the control that has focus. Once that has happened, the first tab doesn't work properly either. -- EDIT -- This solved it, never mind. http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...keyboard-covering-entry-field.html#post162811 Had to tweak the manifest Last edited: Jun 24, 2013 Upvote 0
