Show entire bottom sheet with EditText above Keyboard

Advice-Dog picture Advice-Dog · Dec 28, 2017 · Viewed 31.3k times · Source

I'm implementing a UI where a bottom sheet will appear above the keyboard with an EditText for the user to enter a value. The problem is the View is being partially overlapped by the keyboard, covering up the bottom of the bottom sheet.

Here is the Bottom Sheet and no keyboard.

Bottom Sheet

Here is the Bottom Sheet with the keyboard showing.

What's the best method to ensure the entire Bottom Sheet is shown?

Thanks.

Just reposting @jblejder from this question Keyboard hides BottomSheetDialogFragment since it worked for me, to make it easier for others to find:

The most convenient way that I found to change this is by creating style:

<style name="DialogStyle" parent="Theme.Design.Light.BottomSheetDialog">
    <item name="android:windowIsFloating">false</item>
    <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:windowSoftInputMode">adjustResize</item>
</style>

And set this in onCreate method of your BottomSheetDialogFragment:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NORMAL, R.style.DialogStyle)
}

This is how it looks on my device:

==== UPDATE ====

As already mentioned in the Comments a few times, you might also need to set the state of the BottomSheetDialog to STATE_EXPANDED like in Nordknight's answer below

dialog = new BottomSheetDialog(getContext(), R.style.BottomSheetDialog);  
dialog.setOnShowListener(new DialogInterface.OnShowListener() {
@Override
public void onShow(DialogInterface dialog) {
            new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    BottomSheetDialog d = (BottomSheetDialog) dialog;
                    FrameLayout bottomSheet = d.findViewById(R.id.design_bottom_sheet);
                    BottomSheetBehavior bottomSheetBehavior = BottomSheetBehavior.from(bottomSheet);
                    bottomSheetBehavior.setState(BottomSheetBehavior.STATE_EXPANDED);
                }
            },0);
        }
    });
