I think the best way is to detect when the keyboard appears and then pin the view to the bottom of the screen (it will be above the keyboard after resizing the whole layout).

I think this is the best way to do it.

  • Define a layout resource file to be used as a custom view

  • Create a method that inflates this layout resource file and returns it as a view: Code Snippet

    public View returnPayKeyView () {
    View simpleView = getLayoutInflater (). Inflate (R.layout.simpleresource, null);

    return simpleView;

    }

  • Set this returned view as candidates using setCandidatesView method

The returned view will be displayed above your keyboard using the bloated xml layout resource.
