Galaxy E7 Duos 3G SM-E700H : On this device the soft keyboard and emoji pop are inflated together.

[DalveerSinghDaiya]

I have a Samsung galaxy E7 duos, while testing this library i found that the soft keyboard and emoji pop up are visible together. Is there a way or any workaround to handle this?
Coz its working on all the devices except this one.
I am attaching a screen shot to explain a bit more.

Hmm do other applications that do this kind of thing work? E.g. WhatsApp or telegram?

[DalveerSinghDaiya]

Nopes!! Its working fine in WhatsApp and Telegram.

[vanniktech]

Hmmm :( that's not any good. I don't have the device at hand and in all the devices that I tested the library against (20+) devices. Are you willing to investigate this issue and maybe come up with a PR?

[DalveerSinghDaiya]

I have tried some tricks but all for no good, its not working, that's why i filed it here, thought some one would have cracked this already.

[vanniktech]

Yeah as you probably know detecting whether or not the keyboard shown is non trivial especially when certain devices / manufacters do their own thing. Maybe someone will crack it.

[DalveerSinghDaiya]

Haha, I was expecting you to assign it to someone :P

[DalveerSinghDaiya]

Did you find any solution??

[vanniktech]

Nope I'm also not actively looking into it. Feel free to take this one

[vanniktech]

Related to #224.

@DalveerSinghDaiya could you try the possible workarounds that were posted in that issue and see if that would resolve your issue?

Despite I would really prefer to keep the current behavior, I would like to point out that Hangouts (meaning it's Google doing this) closes the keyboard before showing the emoji panel. It seems like they gave up eheh :-)
If you need help to test or code something to fix this, I'm here.

We need to show the keyboard in order to get the height.

[daniele-athome]

We need to show the keyboard in order to get the height.

Sure, I mean get the height and then close it. I believe that's what Hangouts does.

[vanniktech]

That sounds good. Happy to review an implementation for that.

[daniele-athome]

Now that I think more about it, it will become a simple EmojiView use case, meaning no EmojiPopup involved. By exposing EmojiView directly (and by implementing some helper code to use it), an app can add an EmojiView to its layout and hide the keyboard before showing it, using the appropriate height (the helper code could be used to do just that, leveraging the already implemented code in EmojiPopup used to calculate the height).
What do you say about exposing EmojiView to the world? Any other ideas or questions about this approach? I'd like to hear your opinion on that before start coding.

Hi guys!

I'm having the same problem, both keyboards are shown at the same time on a Pixel 2XL with Android 8.1 using emoji-google:0.6.0-SNAPSHOT

Did you find a solution/workaround for this?

Thanks!

ps: beside this small problem the library is awesome! thanks!

[daniele-athome]

Did you find a solution/workaround for this?

Unfortunately not. I'm working on using EmojiView directly inside my layout and hide the virtual keyboard before showing the emoji panel.

the problem appears when another app uses the top level screen, try this ..
_ install esfile (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop)
_ activate "ES Swipe" feature

then you will get the emoji appears above the keyboard !!
this problem happens all the time with android P, i think it should be fixed as soon as possible

[danielgaribaldi]

My only solution was to fork the project and use a different approach on how the emoji keyboard appears. Now I use it as a fragment embedded in the activity or fragment and I play with the height of this fragment and the normal keyboard visibility to make it appear or disappear. Sounds a bit weird but works really well and in all android versions in including Oreo and P El sáb., 7 abr. 2018 19:06, 186538 <notifications@github.com> escribió:

@danielgaribaldi thanks for the solution.
I've created a customized view for fixing this bug.
If anyone needs my code, just check out my GitHub or look out this class.

Instead of?

[chihung93]

@vanniktech : instead of EmojiPopup

[vanniktech]

And what do you use for displaying that custom Layout?

[chihung93]

@vanniktech : Yes. I just custom layout for fixing the problem with the popup.

[vanniktech]

#326 did a lot of good changes regarding this and I believe this should be closed now. Please let me know whether things have been fixed or not. In case they aren't I can reopen this.

What is the solution for this?
