'Software keyboard overlaps content of jetpack compose view

Suppose I have some activity with a jetpack-compose content

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            ScrollableColumn(
                modifier = Modifier
                    .fillMaxSize()
                    .border(4.dp, Color.Red)
            ) {
                val (text, setText) = remember { mutableStateOf("") }

                TextField(
                    value = text,
                    onValueChange = setText,
                    label = {},
                    modifier = Modifier
                        .fillMaxWidth()
                )

                for (i in 0..100) {
                    Text("Item #$i")
                }
            }
        }
    }

}

If I were to launch this activity and focus on the TextField a software keyboard would pop up.

The interface, however, would not react to it. ScrollableColumn's bottom border (.border(4.dp, Color.Red)) would not be visible, as well as 100th item (Text("Item #$i")).

In other words, software keyboard overlaps content.

How can I make jetpack compose respect visible area changes (due to software keyboard)?

You can use the standard android procedure, but I don't know if a Compose specific way exists.

If you set the SoftInputMode to SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE, the Layout will resize on keyboard change.

class YourActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        
        window.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);
        
        setContent { /* Composable Content */ }
    }
}

otherwise, you could use the flags in the manifest. See here for more information: Move layouts up when soft keyboard is shown?

You can use Accompanist's inset library https://google.github.io/accompanist/insets

first use ProvideWindowInsets at the root of your composable hierarchy most of the time below your app theme compose and set windowInsetsAnimationsEnabled true

ProvideWindowInsets(windowInsetsAnimationsEnabled = true) {
// content  }

The use navigationBarsWithImePadding() modifier on TextField

OutlinedTextField(
// other params,
modifier = Modifier.navigationBarsWithImePadding() )

Finaly make sure to call WindowCompat.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(window, false) from your activity(inside onCreate). If you want Software keyboard on/off to animate set your activity's windowSoftInputMode adjustResize in AndroidManifests

<activity
  android:name=".MyActivity"
  android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">

I came up with idea of using accompanist insets library.

Someone could be interested because my approach does not modificate the contents of an application.

I link my post below:

(Compose UI) - Keyboard (IME) overlaps content of app

Solution 4:^[4]

I faced the same problem.

Use OnGlobalLayoutListener which will observe the actual IME rect size and will be triggered when the soft keyboard is fully visible.

Worked solution for me:

val bringIntoViewRequester = remember { BringIntoViewRequester() }
val scope = rememberCoroutineScope()
val view = LocalView.current
DisposableEffect(view) {
    val listener = ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener {
        scope.launch { bringIntoViewRequester.bringIntoView() }
    }
    view.viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(listener)
    onDispose { view.viewTreeObserver.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(listener) }
}
TextField(
    modifier = Modifier.bringIntoViewRequester(bringIntoViewRequester),
    ...
)

If you want your TextField scroll up when keyboard appears. The following it work for me. You need to add these

class YourActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    
    window.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);
    
    setContent { /* Composable Content */ }
}

And add this to your app/build.gradle

implementation "com.google.accompanist:accompanist-insets-ui:0.24.7-alpha"
