windowSoftInputMode not resizing properly

[swolford]

First and foremost, I absolutely love your drawer library. It is the easiest drawer I've had the pleasure of using! However... I've discovered a bug when interacting with EditText and opening the soft keyboard.

I've uploaded a sample project here:
https://github.com/swolford/MaterialDrawerDemo

I've wrapped the section named "Keyboard Demo" in a ScrollView because my fragments will have many items so the user will need to scroll. The keyboard overlays the layout. The expected behaviour is the ScrollViewer scrolls to the current EditText.

"Keyboard Demo #2" is the same layout as Keyboard Demo without the ScrollView. Users won't be able to scroll and the keyboard pushes the entire activity up.

I have included in styles.xml two themes. DemoTheme01 inherits your theme and DemoTheme02 is a direct copy of yours (from your library source) with windowSoftInputMode set.

DemoTheme02 works and has the scrolling functionality I expect, but the drawer header image does not extend behind the status bar... I'm not sure why directly copying your theme works, but inheriting it and setting a property doesn't.

I'd like to have both scrolling to the correct EditText and the drawer header image extending behind the status bar.

Any ideas?

@swolford thank you so much for the detailed report.

I checked the source and debugged it on my phone.
I found out that the adjustResize function is not working as soon as

<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>

I had to try some combinations of the theme and your app until i found this.

So i did some detailed research and found out that this only works if you set android:fitsSystemWindows="true" within your layout. We can't use this with the current MaterialDrawer implementation because if you use this the layout won't show behind the statusbar, because it ads the margin to it. So it will show the background color behind the statusbar.

So the next thing was to try fixing this by layout or code. But no luck.
So with some further digging i found out that this seems to be a bug with Android (not sure about this but read more about it here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21092888/windowsoftinputmode-adjustresize-not-working-with-translucent-action-navbar/22266717#22266717)
and that the only solution to get the whole combination working for all phones is to use a custom Layout called ScrimsInsetLayout used in the Google IO app. https://github.com/google/iosched/blob/master/android/src/main/java/com/google/samples/apps/iosched/ui/widget/ScrimInsetsFrameLayout.java

I'll start reworking everything tomorrow. So hopefully the first release which contains this layout and the fix for your issue is out tomorrow.

Sorry for your troubles.

@mikepenz thank you for looking into this! I have been banging my head for a while trying to figure out what was going on. Apart from this one issue, your library is the easiest and cleanest library to use for a Materal Drawer implementation. Font-Awesome being included is a very nice touch.

Thank you again. :)

@swolford i'll give you feedback as soon as i get it working ;)

Thank you so much. It also includes the GoogleMaterial design icons ;).

Sorry for the troubles

@swolford i made a lot of changes. now it would work with adjustPan but still not with adjustResize i do some additional things. i hope i can find a solution

[mikepenz]

@swolford some hours later i have still no real answer to fix your issue.
As far as i've found this is a real issue but it is working as intended: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5497

So either you use no translucent statusbar. or you try to get the functionality working with adjustPan or with an alternative layout or something like this.

Here's a description how you can test the latest v2.5.0 with the ScrimInsetsLayout. Perhaps you are able to find a configuration which will work. :/

@mikepenz, sorry for the headache I have caused you! I have been looking at some of Google's own apps and trying to figure out what their behaviour is.

• Google Inbox: Full height, translucent statusbar. When keyboard is open, drawer is inaccessible. I assume they switched off adjustResize (as per one of the suggestions in the Google Code page you linked) and disabled the drawer.
• GMail: Same as Google Inbox.
• Google Hangouts - Same as Inbox and GMail.
• Google Keep: Full height, translucent statusbar. When keyboard is open, drawer is accessible (but closes keyboard when opened), and statusbar is still translucent with the drawer image behind it! Whatever Google did with Google Keep is the solution. Too bad it is not open-source!

I will try some other things and get back to you. Thanks for your time!

@swolford no problem. it's a problem and somehow we should be able to solve it :D.

Probably let the drawer manage the keyboard behavior too, and disabling enabling fullscreen would work. hmmmm. it is at least an idea.

Google Keep. Hmmm i think decompiling won't help with googles apps :D

thanks you so much
