I have a problem with the animation of the soft-keyboard since ICS. I got an activity for data entry using the soft-keyboard. The window is set to "adjustResize" in order to fit all Views into the screen above the soft-keyboard. Since Android 4 the fancy animation of opening the keyboard, let's the views on my screen "bounce".
It seems, as if the view is layouted, then the keyboard opens and after this the screen is relayouted, leading to kind of a jumpy UX.
There was a similar question: ( How to show/hide the soft keyboard without any animation (e.g. fade) in Java? ) However, the solution over there does not work for me. (tested on 4.2.1)
I would be glad, if anyone has some clues on achieving one of the following solutions:
- Disable the animation of the soft-keyboard for an activity
- Retrieve the size of the soft-keyboard in order to set the size of the screen manually
