Keyboard overlapping entry control in .NET MAUI - .NET 8 (Android)

Question

ALEXANDRUSTEFAN CRACEA 0

Does anyone know how can I implement the soft keyboard on Android .NET MAUI?

I tried doing like it's said in the docs and in stack overflow forums, but nothing seemed to work.

Whatever I do, my keyboard is overlapping the entries from the bottom of the screen.

Does anyone have a workaround this on Android with .NET 8 ?

Do you mean you need to make the UI control automatically move up when the keyboard pops up to not obscure the input?

If so, then you can refer to Soft keyboard input mode on Android to use Pan mode in order to roll up the control.

I have tried it, but it still does not seem to work. Is there anything else that I have to do besides setting the soft keyboard in app.xaml?

Have you tried writing the input mode to the OnCreate method of the MainActivity.cs in the Android folder?

App.Current.On<Microsoft.Maui.Controls.PlatformConfiguration.Android>(). UseWindowSoftInputModeAdjust(WindowSoftInputModeAdjust.Pan);

If the problem persists, could you please provide the minimized code snippet or steps that can reproduce the issue?
