Keyboard for text box changes screen size

I noticed my app screen size would shrink when keyboard was activated for a textbox.

The fix was to set screen size to 100%, not “Fill Parent” or “Automatic”.

Hello Bill

Sounds very strange! We need to see it - can you take a screenshot using the device’s built-in screen shot function (or 3rd party App).

We will probably need to se your project file to examine the component layout, but you could take a look at my tips to see if you can find a potential cause yourself:

What happens if you set the Sizing property to Responsive from Screen1’s properties in designer section?

Edit: I now see that the link provided in the above reply by ChrisWard contains the point that I mentioned here

@vaibhab I don’t have a sizing property in a Screen property? I heard this fix mentioned before.

It’s Vaibhav not Vaibhab. Secondly the Screen1’s sizing property I mentioned in my reply is :point_down:

Set the sizing to Responsive and try again

That’s very interesting. My app has 2 screens. The first screen looks like yours with the Sizing just as you say. But the 2nd screen looks like this. maybe the first screen sets a global policy for all subsequent screens?:

And sorry for the misspell!

Correct. Sizing is set on Screen1.Properties as indicated by Vaibhav, and this will apply to all screens in the project.

Think of Screen 1 as the ‘King’ of Screens.
