Reason why API 23+ only

Closed this issue 5 years ago · 5 comments

Hi Saket,

thanks for sharing your awesome solution. I just like to understand why the implementation does not work on Lollipop (< API 23) devices. Is it because of limitations of the viewTreeObserver or because we can't reliably setup the ActivityViewHolder?

No reason actually. This isn't a library so I did not care.

Okay, but I can't make it work on Lollipop devices. Lint also doesn't warn me about any APIs not available at this level. So I am wonderings what the reason could be. Did you try it on 5.1?

What issue are you seeing? It might be helpful to check layout inspector to see what view is getting resized when the soft keyboard shows up.

In one of our apps the resize animation does not work on Lollipop. But I will further investigate the cause.
I just saw 7c7f318 and thought there might be a general limitation. Will report what the issue was.

Thanks for replying so quickly!

I'm assuming you figured out the problem? Feel free to reopen otherwise.
