PopupWindow above Virtual keyboard

Question

I have a PopupWindow that is shown when a user is typing in an EditText. This popup offers him some suggestions. My problem is that when the Popup is shown, a part of it is displayed over the Keyboard on the screen, preventing the user to continue typing. Does anyone know why of this behaviour and how could I fix it?

It's normal behavior of popup. Where should it be? There may be no space at all above keyboard (on small screens) — Jin35, Mar 05 '12 at 12:25
Yeah, the position of the popup on the screen is correct, but I want to have the keyboard always in front, not covered by the popup. For example, looking at the behaviour of AutoCompleteView, the dropdown view doesn't cover the virtual keyboard. I wanted to achieve that same result. — pane619, Mar 05 '12 at 23:39

To have your popupwindow behind the softkeyboard just set this line:

popupWindow.setInputMethodMode(PopupWindow.INPUT_METHOD_NEEDED);

and also

popupWindow.setFocusable(false);
popupWindow.setOutsideTouchable(false);

try using

PopupWindow.showAtLocation(View parent, int gravity, int x, int y)

instead of

PopupWindow.showAsDropDown (View anchor)
