I have a small user interface for demo chat. This app has a bottom navigation bar. I need a bottom navigation bar to hide when the keyboard appears.
Here is an example chat user interface
As you can see, when you click the EditText element, a keyboard appears, but the bottom navigation bar remains visible. I tried methods like this measurement method , but the user interface elements flicker like this .
Is there a way to hide the bottom navigation bar when the keyboard is visible?
EDIT: in the action below, you can see where I installed the keyboard listener to adjust the position of the user interface elements when the keyboard is determined to be visible.
This is my activity code, uses the setKeyboardListener method from the link above and sets it to onCreateView:
