Android keyboard Input Field

[Imercfy_team]

I’m working on a chat system in UE5.4.4 for Android. The issue I’m facing is with the keyboard and input field.

• When I press on the input field, the Android keyboard shows up, but my input box is hidden or gone away and I can’t see where I am typing.

• When I tap anywhere outside, the keyboard hides, goes down but the input field also disappears from view.

• What I want is the same behavior as WhatsApp Messager or Instagram chat:

  • Input bar should always stay at the bottom of the screen.

  • When the keyboard opens, the input bar should move up above the keyboard in all Android phone(not get hidden).

  • Messages should scroll above the input bar.

I already tried adjusting the Android manifest and using adjustResize, but it still doesn’t behave like a proper chat UI. I even did these two to solve this problem but nothing works for me.

To fix this in portrait, modify the file Engine\Build\Android\Java\src\com\epicgames\unreal\GameActivity.java.template Find the line that looks like this: int bottomDiff = Math.abs( mainDecorViewRect.bottom - visibleRect.bottom ); Add the following code below it: // BEGIN Paratus mod visibleRect.bottom -= visibleRect.top; // END Paratus mod

Is there any reliable way to fix this in UE5.4, or a best practice for making a chat-style layout on Android?

Thanks in advance!
