            usableHeightPrevious = usableHeightNow;

    }
}

It's very frustrating have to do tricks because of framework's limitations. Any other solution?

How do we remove these window adjustments when moving to a new fragment? It works perfectly in the fragment where I have fullscreen mode but when I navigate back to the previous fragment which isnt full screen the bottom nav view is now hidden behind the device navigation. I guess whatever insets are being done in the full screen mode are carrying over to the prevouis fragment which doesnt require any window/inset modifications

I am able to implement this and the status bar is not flickering anymore, need to let it run in Handler when calling "possiblyResizeChildOfContent".
Not sure whether this works on anyone else, but give it a try.
The code below is in Kotlin.

class SoftInputAssist(activity: Activity) {
    private var contentContainer: ViewGroup?
    private var rootView: View?
    private val rootViewLayout: FrameLayout.LayoutParams?

    private val contentAreaOfWindowBounds: Rect = Rect()
    private var viewTreeObserver: ViewTreeObserver? = null
    private var usableHeightPrevious = 0

    private val listener = OnGlobalLayoutListener {
        possiblyResizeChildOfContent()
    }

    init {
        contentContainer = activity.contentRootView as? ViewGroup
        rootView = contentContainer?.getChildAt(0)
        rootViewLayout = rootView?.layoutParams as? FrameLayout.LayoutParams
    }

    fun onPause() {
        if (viewTreeObserver != null && viewTreeObserver!!.isAlive) {
            viewTreeObserver?.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(listener)
        }
    }

    fun onResume() {
        viewTreeObserver = rootView?.viewTreeObserver

        if (viewTreeObserver != null) {
            viewTreeObserver?.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(listener)
        }
    }

    fun onDestroy() {
        contentContainer = null
        rootView = null
        viewTreeObserver = null
    }

    private fun possiblyResizeChildOfContent() {
        runOnMainThread {
            contentContainer?.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(contentAreaOfWindowBounds)
            val usableHeightNow: Int = contentAreaOfWindowBounds.bottom

            if (usableHeightNow != usableHeightPrevious) {
                rootViewLayout?.height = usableHeightNow

                rootView?.layout(
                    contentAreaOfWindowBounds.left - (contentContainer?.x?.toInt() ?: 0),
                    contentAreaOfWindowBounds.top - (contentContainer?.y?.toInt() ?: 0),
                    contentAreaOfWindowBounds.right - (contentContainer?.x?.toInt() ?: 0),
                    contentAreaOfWindowBounds.bottom - (contentContainer?.y?.toInt() ?: 0)
                )

                rootView?.requestLayout()
                usableHeightPrevious = usableHeightNow
            }
        }
    }
}

val Activity.contentRootView: View?
    get() = window?.decorView?.findViewById(android.R.id.content) ?: findViewById(android.R.id.content)

private object ContextHandler {
    val handler = Handler(Looper.getMainLooper())
}

fun runOnMainThread(action: () -> Unit) {
    ContextHandler.handler.post {
        action()
    }
}

I have a view that is constanted to the container but when resizing the root view, that view disappears

it does not work to me i has error at line : private ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener listener = () -> possiblyResizeChildOfContent();
please how can i resolve it . thanks

Thanks. It works perfectly.

Use like this

    private ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener listener = new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            possiblyResizeChildOfContent();
        }
    };

This gist is over 3 years old and hacking around limitations in the framework at the time. I am not surprised to hear it doesn’t work properly anymore. I believe similar functionality is now available in androidx libs. I should probably just delete this.

Actually it works, it just flickers when keyboard size or visibility is changes.

            if (usableHeightNow != usableHeightPrevious) {
                rootViewLayout?.height = usableHeightNow

                rootView?.layout(
                    contentAreaOfWindowBounds.left - (contentContainer?.x?.toInt() ?: 0),
                    contentAreaOfWindowBounds.top - (contentContainer?.y?.toInt() ?: 0),
                    contentAreaOfWindowBounds.right - (contentContainer?.x?.toInt() ?: 0),
                    contentAreaOfWindowBounds.bottom - (contentContainer?.y?.toInt() ?: 0)
                )

                rootView?.requestLayout()
                usableHeightPrevious = usableHeightNow
            }
        }
    }
}

val Activity.contentRootView: View?
    get() = window?.decorView?.findViewById(android.R.id.content) ?: findViewById(android.R.id.content)

private object ContextHandler {
    val handler = Handler(Looper.getMainLooper())
}

fun runOnMainThread(action: () -> Unit) {
    ContextHandler.handler.post {
        action()
    }
}

For me this solution worked perfectly with windowSoftInputMode= adjustPan and then adjusting my NestedScrollView's parent's top, start, end, and bottom constraints with the parent with 0dp height

thanks.

Worked for me after I have replaced

int usableHeightNow = contentAreaOfWindowBounds.height();

with

int usableHeightNow = contentAreaOfWindowBounds.bottom;

otherwise I had a large gap at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks Bro it was a problem for me. But a little bit problem while launching the activity, splash like problem. If you found an answer please email me. [email protected]. I'll be waiting to your answer.

Can this be used in fragment...
