Hide button view and then show it again

Question

I need to hide button at bottom of screen when soft keyboard is appear and then show it when keyboard will disappear. Looks like keyboard overflows button.

Look at this post, for the keyboard show/hidden events and play with your button visibility http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4312319/howto-capture-the-virtual-keyboard-show-hide-event-in-android — Sid, Nov 20 '13 at 20:53

In the declaration of your activity in manifest, you may add :

<activity android:name=".MyActivity"
    android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"
    android:label="@string/app_name">

Then in your activity, add :

public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);


    // Checks whether a hardware keyboard is available
    if (newConfig.hardKeyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_NO) {
        // Your keyboard is visible
        yourButton.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    } else if (newConfig.hardKeyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_YES) {
        // Your keyboard is hidden
        yourButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    }
}

Did you also tried with KEYBOARDHIDDEN_YES and KEYBOARDHIDDEN_NO instead of HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_YES and HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_NO ? — , Nov 20 '13 at 21:17
