locking the nav below the keyboard? #19

Closed cweber closed 13 years ago

konklone commented 13 years ago

I've changed a setting in Android that now causes the screen to "pan" instead of "resize". If text fields are all above the "fold" (like on the drugs page) this works ideally - on the other search forms, it doesn't. But we could rearrange the search forms if necessary, I suppose.

As best as I can tell, it's either the old way, or this way - tradeoffs either way.

Awesome! This seems to be working for all of the sections for me..., but I was planning on adjusting the spacing between the form fields on Facilities and Supplies anyway, so whatever bug you were seeing may get resolved.

The issue is that the screen doesn't get bumped up at all after the first time you enter a text field and bring up the keyboard. So the keyboard obscures the text field itself. My recommendation, for an app as small as ours, is to place each text field high enough on the page that it can never be covered by the virtual keyboard.

Oh! I see. You can't scroll the screen, you have to leave the keyboard to select the next field. Ok. I'll keep that in mind when I adjust the form spacing.
