Modifying Androidmanifest.xml

  • Under Consideration
I know this topic has been visiting a few times, but last I recall PG Build was considering allowing us to make changes to the androidmanifest.xml file.

I know for me, I have many people who have issues where their keyboard either disappears when selecting an input field on an Android device, or it moves the entire screen up out of view while typing.

A simple fix appears to be placing:

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

in the androidmanifest.xml file.

So, the question is, will we be able to make some changes to that file any time soon?

Thanks PG Build team for all your excellent work!

Hey Jsaya,

This is not in our near future, currently we will continue to employ our config.xml. Our current strategy is to allow users to request certain attributes to the config.xml and we will do our best to review and implement the changes.

I will add this to our backlog as it seems that it will be useful to many other users as well.
