Android On-Screen Keyboard hides Python Kivy TextInputs

I am just starting to learn how to evolve in Kivy, but I have a keyboard problem on Android. When I have a series of TextInputs going down the bottom of the screen, I cannot see the fields hidden by the on-screen keyboard.

Here is the screen with and without the keyboard:

without keyboard

With keyboard

I usually expect to be able to scroll the screen to display the appropriate text input and select it, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that ... :(

How can I handle this?

You can use a softinput_mode

window property to choose what happens when the keyboard is opened, and optionally use keyboard_height

to know how big the keyboard is and move your text files accordingly.



However, this is only available in kivy master (version 1.9). Another stable release coming soon.

Use Window, not Windows, and put it in main.py:

from kivy.core.window import Window
Window.softinput_mode = 'pan'

Actually what you are looking for should look like in (for example?) Main.py:

from kivy.core.window import Window
Window.softinput_mode = 'below_target'
