I'm having an issue where the onscreen ("soft") keyboard covers up
EditTexts and other editable views that the user is currently typing
in. This happens when the phone has a large screen size (e.g.
WVGA854) and the EditText is near the bottom of the screen. Here are
the steps of what happens:
1) User clicks on the EditText field
2) The soft keyboard pops up and pushes some of the screen up with it
3) The screen is only pushed up a little bit so that the EditText is
laying underneath the keyboard, so the user can't see what is being
typed
A similar thing happens with multi-line input EditTexts:
1) User clicks on the multi-line EditText field
2) The soft keyboard pops up and pushes some of the screen up with it
3) Assuming the field is still visible, the user types in a full line,
causing the cursor to move to a new line
4) The screen is pushed up a little bit to make the next line visible,
but it only pushes up the screen about half as far as it needs to to
make up for the additional height of the line of text
5) The user enters a couple more lines
6) The line the user is typing on is no longer visible because it is
underneath the soft keyboard
This only applies to phones with large screen sizes, such as Droid -
there are no problems on any phones with default screen sizes.
Does anyone know of a fix or a workaround for this other than moving
all the widgets around when the soft keyboard pops up?
