Apps-android-commons: Keypad overlaps on Wikimedia Commons policies Link

[tanvidadu]

The keypad in the Commons Activity overlaps with the Wikimedia Commons Links .

I will like to work on the issue.

@tanvidadu , thanks:)

@tanvidadu Any progress? :-) How do you plan to fix it?

[mithlesh4257]

Can I start working on this issue #1041?

[mithlesh4257]

There is only one way fix this.
Sir @nicolas-raoul I have to keep the button ("USE PREVIOUS TITLE/DESCRIPTION") below of the TextView containing Wikimedia Commons policies.

It might work but not the best solution.

[nicolas-raoul]

Actually after re-reading this I am not sure what @tanvidadu is trying to achieve.
To me, it seems unavoidable that part of the screen is hidden when the keyboard is visible.
@tanvidadu could you please explain a bit more? Thanks!

[mithlesh4257]

Sir @nicolas-raoul , I have an idea , If I adjust the views I can be able to make the user to see the links.
One of the possible way is to

1. Bring the spinner to the top
2. Bring the TextView containing Attribution text to just below of spinner
3. Bring the Button to bottom.

This might be helpful. Is it ?

Sorry for not being a little specific earlier. We can adjustResize the Xml components each time the keypad is opened so the Wikimedia Commons policies Links is visible.

Not being able to see the field you are typing in would be a problem, but I don't see why the keyboard overlapping the policy link is a problem.
We can not show everything at all times, otherwise things will become painful for people with very small screens.

I think we can close this.
