Touch events with onscreen keyboard

Question

I have an Android app with a touch listener that detects touch events to my app. This works fine for areas within my app, but when the on screen keyboard is activated that the user touches it, I don't get these touch events. Is it possible to obtain these touch events as well?

On a related note, what type of View element are on screen keyboards? Are they system overlays?

Answer 1

You can use

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" 

or

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" 

It will move your layout above the keyboard or resize it respectively.

Hope it helps.
