Update Dec 15, 2015: Fixed.
HELP PLEASE!
I am trying to create a floating view (using WindowManager) that uses EditText Component. But here's the issue.
If I create the floating view using the FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE, the keyboard doesn't open up when I focus on the Edittext Component by touching on it.
I tried removing the FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE flag, and the keyboard shows up just fine. It works as expected. BUT. A BIG BUT. Not "Butt", but "But". But, the back button is broken now. Not only back button, but all of the touch screen. I am not able to touch the screen anywhere except the floating view. :( (I want to touch it everywhere!)
What can we do? Please help.
How to use this repo?
Clone it.
In file, EditTextService.java, there are two methods that return the LayoutParams for the floating view: getParamsThatWorksForTouchEvents() and getParamsThatWorksForKeyboard().
In onCreate() method, these methods are called using this section:
WindowManager.LayoutParams params = this.getParamsThatWorksForKeyboard();
// WindowManager.LayoutParams params = this.getParamsThatWorksForTouchEvents();Comment out one of the line and the other one will give you the desired effect to reproduce the issue.
