Android Question Soft keyboard and full screen apps

[JdV]

Hi

I have been reading up on the IME library:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/handle-the-soft-keyboard-with-the-ime-library.14832/

Is there a simple way to detect the opening of the on-screen keyboard (and adjust the views accordingly) in apps that run in full screen?

(i.e. #FullScreen: True)

Regards

Joe

Yes. It doesn't matter whether the app is full screen or not.

Have a look at the attached example.

It doesn't fire the IME_HeightChanged sub when #FullScreen is set to True.

(Also, for some reason the app crashes after I press OK when #FullScreen is set to False.)

I'm testing this on a Nexus 10 tablet running Android 5.0.2.

You haven't added the attribute from the tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/handle-the-soft-keyboard-with-the-ime-library.14832/

Correct way to reference an asset file from WebView: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...g-rapid-”-b4a-3-50-version.38981/#post-230988

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have added the attribute (SetActivityAttribute(main, android:windowSoftInputMode, adjustResize|stateHidden)) to the manifest editor (see app attached).

It still isn't firing the IME_HeightChanged event though. It doesn't seem to matter whether the keyboard was opened by pressing on the edit text field or one of the input fields in the HTML doc.

Note: I have only tested this with Android 5.0.2

You are correct. Based on this bug report the adjustResize property is ignored in full screen apps for some reason: https://code.google.com/p/android/i...en&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars

 

[JdV]

Yes, I saw that page as well.

I had hoped there would be a clever workaround available in B4A or in the IME library to compensate for it.

I'm curious if this was ever resolved ?

No, 'adjustResize' mode doesn't work properly in full screen activities.
