When the soft keyboard is displayed, it changes the height parameter of my view.

  • 0

When the soft keyboard is displayed, it changes the height parameter of my view. I would like it to ignore that the keyboard is even shown and never resize my layout and simply display the keyboard on top of my activity “as is”. Is there a flag I can place in the manifest to ignore the soft keyboard for layout purposes?

    By Adding android:windowSoftInputMode=”” to a given activity you can change the behavior of the activity when calling the sofware keyboard.

    Also Android Soft Keyboard Resizes Web View is another example solution as well.
