Bottom positioning #142

Description

@leodp

when the:keyboard is visible, the bottom row is not clickable, as it is coveted by the android UI input area with the arrow toward the bottom, which is there to exit from the keyboard enter mode.
Is it possible to shift the kb up by the correct amount of pixels?

in the image below I made the kb huge, to be able to access the bottom keys

    As a workaround, after messing with the android settings for about an hour i found a setting under gesture navigation to hide the navigation bar. This made the down arrow and keyboard select buttons not show up on top of this otherwise awesome keyboard. (moto edge android 15).

    Same but the setting not found at Xiaomi 13T pro

    Edit:
    Systemnavigation
    Navigationstasten automatisch deaktivieren
    Codeblock auswählen
    Und dann Code Board immer aktivieren ...
    I found it (don't know English words I am a noob)
    Would be easier for beginners to have a shorter way to solve this problem maybe an intern link to this setting? Or another soution ?

    This may be the same as issue #137. I have a fix that might work for you in this fork. The release files including a built APK are here, if anyone is feeling reckless enough to use them!

    This works in the emulator using the standard system images in versions 14 (which isn't broken anyway), 15 (which is especially broken) and 16+ (which have layout problems in the config activity but not the actual keyboard).

    If someone can tell me whether this works correctly on an actual phone that's having a problem that would be great.

    Got a similar problem in Xiaomi Poco C85. @larrychips fork didn't solve the issue for my device

    Larry's fork fixed this for the Boox Note 5, which runs Android 15, though I think it's a pretty thoroughly customized version.

    @12kittens I'm sorry to hear that. I have some questions, after which I will probably still be completely in the dark anyway!

    • Which version of Android are you running?
    • Is the problem exactly the same with the forked version of Codeboard and the original, or do they have slightly different layout problems in some orientations?
    • Was it working fine for you before a recent system update, then not working afterward?
    • Does using the fork make a difference to the Codeboard settings activity layout?

    I hope you don't feel pressure to respond -- like I said, I'll probably still be confused regardless, and I'm not likely to respond in the next few days anyway.

    P.S. I actually went to bed a week ago thinking I had already posted this message. Whoops.
