Ok if I got your question right, you want a layout with a background and a scrollview. And when the softkeyboard pops up, you want to resize the scrollview, but keep the background at full size right?
if that's what you want than I may have found a workaround for this issue:
What you can do is make 2 activities.
Activity 1:
public class StartActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Intent StartApp = new Intent(this, DialogActivity.class);
startActivity(StartApp); // Launch your official (dialog) Activity
setContentView(R.layout.start); // your layout with only the background
}
}
Activity2:
public class DialogActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND); // get rid of dimming
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); //get rid of title bar (if you want)
setContentView(R.layout.dialog); //Dialog Layout with scrollview and stuff
Drawable d = new ColorDrawable(Color.BLACK); //make dialog transparent
d.setAlpha(0);
getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(d);
}
}
start layout:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/test"> //your background
</LinearLayout>
dialog layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- All your Scrollview Items -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
AndroidManifest.xml
start Activity:
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
dialog Activity
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
android:excludeFromRecents="true"
Edit:
To finish Activities at once use the following somewhere inside your DialogActivity (example: override the backbutton):
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), StartActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
intent.putExtra("EXIT", true);
startActivity(intent);
}
and in onCreate() of StartActivity:
if (getIntent().getBooleanExtra("EXIT", false)) {
finish();
}
else {
Intent StartApp = new Intent(this, TestActivity.class);
startActivity(StartApp);
}
Screenshots!
