    Hello everybody,

    I want to know if is it possible to adjust layout when soft keyboard appears (android and iOS keyboard)?

    Actually, the keyboard hide the input field on the bottom screen and I want to have it on the top of the keyboard like:


    Someone have an idea?

    Best,
    Alexis

    Not tried yet, but here's a hint :
    https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/TouchScreenKeyboard.html
    "TouchScreenKeyboard.visible and TouchScreenKeyboard.area should be used to determine if the keyboard is being shown (activated) and what portion of the screen is using."

    You should be able to reposition the TextField from the code, when you know that the user is editing it : I have no idea for this part though. :oops: (I don't see yet anything specific in the TextField doc or in the list of available events)

    Hello,

    This is the technique I use with UGUI, but it's not optimal. Btw TouchScreenKeyboard.area don't work on Android and TouchScreenKeyboard don't have hide and visible event...

    I hope a better solution come with UI Toolkit!

    Best,
    Alexis

    Hi. Yes, this is definitely something we would like to have in the future. Right now, the way to go is using 
    TouchScreenKeyboard.visible
    and 
    TouchScreenKeyboard.area
    whenever possible and adjust the layout according to those values. We know it's not ideal, but we will look into a more integrated solution eventually :)
