Hello, I don't think the window is in scroll mode, how can I tell? The window is pretty small, consisting of just a title, a text box, and one or two buttons. It is an EditTextPreference, for entering the text value of an preference. In the example below the window is used for giving a name (i.e., a Label) to an alarm. The entire window moves when the soft keyboard appears, including the borders.

Hi, if you are using a window in scroll mode, there is actually some special trickery going on to scroll the window (the window doesn't move, but drawing inside of it is offset), which probably isn't being taken into account when you ask for the location on the screen. Please file a bug report and we'll try to get it fixed at some point, though I can't guarantee when.

I've been advised to start a new thread. We have a case where View.getLocationOnScreen() seems to have a bug. The window where this happens is an EditTextPreference. To reproduce the problem: 1. bring up the AlarmClock app 2. click Menu 3. click Add Alarm 4. click Label 5. observe (either with HierarchyViewer or your eyes) the position of this window 6. click the "Alarm" EditText box 7. observe (eyes, HV) the new position of this window I have modified ViewDebug so it returns two more values for each view: the two values returned by View.getLocationOnScreen(). I named them screenX and screenY. HierarchyViewer (unchanged) displays these values. Before the window moves (step 5) I see these values from HierrarchyViewer: screenX: 27 screenY: 229 After the soft keyboard is displayed and the window is pushed up, (after step 6), I completely refresh the information in HierarchyViewer, these values have not changed. Since the window has definitely moved, I suspect this is a bug. Is there an alternative way using ViewDebug to getting the screen position of the EditText box under these circumstances? I'm stumped. -Sam -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
