Where to Download

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.xlythe:swap:1.1'
}

Usage

The key components are:

• SwapEditText: Loads the fragments
• FrameLayout: An empty layout for holding the fragments (Anchored at the bottom for expected results)
• Lastly, any buttons or views to trigger the switching of fragments

<com.xlythe.swap.SwapEditText
    android:id="@+id/edit_text"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
    
<Button
    android:id="@+id/button"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
        
<!-- The default id is "container" this can be changed with setContainer(int id) -->
<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Most of the work for the keyboard is done for you. When tapping on the EditText the default keyboard is launched. You can swap out the default keyboard for any fragment of your choosing using showFragment(Fragment fragment). The library does all the measuring to match the fragment size to the size of the keyboard, enabling smooth transitioning.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    SwapEditText mEditText;
    
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        
        mEditText = (SwapEditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_text);
        
        // Swap in the fragment when the button is tapped
        Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            onClick(View view) {
                mEditText.showFragment(DummyFragment.newInstance())
            }
        });
        
    }

    // Override onBackPressed in order to hide the keyboard when tapping back instead of closing the activity
    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        if (mEditText.getFragmentVisibility()) {
            mEditText.hideKeyboard();
        } else {
            super.onBackPressed();
        }
    }
}
