Soft keyboard pushing layout

I have been trying many solutions out there for preventing the soft keyboard from pushing my layout when it appears. However, all solutions did not work.

Simply, I want everything in my layout (buttons, imageViews, Background, textViews, textEdits) to stay in place when soft keyboard is shown. I do not care about what it will cover.

I tried all of the following and all produced the same output and do not work:

  1. (did not work) I tried writing android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing" in my AndroidManifest.xml
  2. (did not work) I tried writing getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);in myonCreate() though it did not work
  3. I tried writing android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" in my AndroidManifest.xml and also did not work
  4. (did not work) I tried writing android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan" in my AndroidManifest.xml
  5. (did not work) I also tried writing android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan" in my AndroidManifest.xml

All the above solutions produced the following snapshot:

The actual layout looks like this (this is what I want it to keep looking when soft keyboard is active):

Any idea of how to prevent this?

This is my AndroidManifest.xml

Solution

  • Remove your Background image in xml file

    Set Background image in java file using below code:

    getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.banner1));
