Question

I have a ListView to display category items, below this, I have a control menu writen in a LinerLayout, and, also an EditText and go Button at the top of this app.

Everything is fine at the first running time. however, when I click the EditText for input, the menu bar is pulled up since the keyboard appear. Now, the order of the ListView has been changed.

example:
at beginning: 1 Meeting 2 Event 3 Schedule 4 Reminder
Later keyboard shows and everything pulled up: 1 Schedule 2 Reminder 3 Meeting 4 Event.

I also find that this problem will only happen when there is no enough space to keep showing the whole ListView.

I can’t solve this problem after I searched for long time on the internet.

This is my layout and my List Apdater

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout ...>
        <ListView
            android:id="@+id/items"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_below="@+id/widget53"/>

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/widget39"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" >

            <ImageButton ../>

            <ImageButton ../>

            <ImageButton ../>
        </LinearLayout>

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/widget53"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >

            <Button ../>

            <EditText .. />
        </LinearLayout>
    </RelativeLayout>
//Write item on the screen
    lv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.items);
            lv.setAdapter(indexadapter.getAdapter());
            lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
            lv.setOnItemClickListener(ItemClick);
//My list Adapter generate rows base on mData from database
    CategoryHolder CategoryHolder = null;
        if (convertView == null) {
            //getting view format
            CategoryHolder = new CategoryHolder();
            convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.categoryshow, null);
            CategoryHolder.category=(TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.indexcategory);
        //setting tag for reuse;
            convertView.setTag(CategoryHolder);
        //setting text for each item;
        CategoryHolder.category.setText((String)mData.get(position).get("CATEGORY"));
        }else{
            CategoryHolder = (CategoryHolder)convertView.getTag();
        }

in your AndroidManifest.xml file, in your <activity…> definition, include android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" like so:

<activity
    android:name=".ClassName"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" >
    ...
</activity>
