Sorry, you misunderstood. View.INVISIBLE was just for testing purposes to see if it makes any differences. In my app I cannot hide the elements of course, I need them there to be visible to the user. I just wanted to point out that by setting View.INVISIBLE to the listView, the behaviour I want (the layout to stay fix) can be achieved, but I am wondering *why* ? What's the logic behind it? (So both View.INVISIBLE and View.GONE already have the same desired effect; but I *do* want to show the element to the user of course.) > http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html > > Also in your scroll view layout try setting > android:fillViewport="true" on the scroll view. The scroll view works fine, with the scrollView, the layout remains fix (what I want); I want the layout that uses the *ListView* to stay fixed as well when I press the search button. I also already tried to set android:isScrollContainer="false" to the list view, but it makes no difference either. (ListView doesn't have a fillViewport attribute) Mathias > > Ed > > On Sep 7, 12:03 am, Mathias Lin <m...@mathiaslin.com> wrote: > > > > > Interestingly though: when I set my ListView visibility to > > View.INVISIBLE in my first activity, then the layout doesn not get > > moved up anymore! > > > This is my layout/xml: > > > 1)http://pastebin.com/5zzVxjbK > > ListView where layouts is been moved up by the softkeyboard > > > 2)http://pastebin.com/KFtPuHvP > > ScrollView/LinearLayout, where layout remains fix by the softkeyboard > > > On Sep 6, 8:48 pm, Mathias Lin <m...@mathiaslin.com> wrote: > > > > How does Android determine whether to move the layout up when showing > > > the softkeyboard? > > > > Note: I am aware that the activity property > > > android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|adjustResize| > > > adjustUnspecified" exists, as described > > > herehttp://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.h... > > > , but in my case it doesn't seem to have any effect.
