Keyboard Covers the Focused Controls

[MikeMon 12]

Is there an out-of-the-box way for the screen to move up when the keyboard pops up and covers the focused control, e.g. edit boxes, memos, etc.? Currently we use a vertical scroll box and plenty of code (onVirtualKeyboardShown & onVirtualKeyboardHidden) we found online.

I believe what you do is what Embarcadero actually recommends:

Too complicated for something that should be the norm without using any code.

Just out of curiosity how does an Android Java or an iOS Swift App do this?

I'm curious, too.

Scrollable forms is the way to deal with this.

 

I use OrangeUI in one of my app and they have a way that manages it more smoothly and easier. But this is a totally different framework to use

I believe it should happen automatically and no code should be involved. Anything focused but covered by the popped up keyboard should be scrolled up automatically to be visible.

take a look at this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16411056/how-to-adjust-layout-when-soft-keyboard-appears

 

They declare

 

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" 

in the manifest and </requestfocus> in the layout file. I don't know if you can do that in Delphi.

@MikeMon Does the solution offered by @pietrt work?

If you read the answer on stackoverflow, you'll see that a scrollable container is always required.

Hi John

 

I never tried it because the app is both for Android and iOS. So, I'm using the solution provided by Embarcadero.
