Thanks in advance

Did you install softkeybaord correctly ? if Yes, just go to setting then language & keybaord.. just Check your keybaord ( it wil be "soft keybaord" by standard ) then at editbox hold and choose Imput method, you will see your sample keybaord,choose it .. now u have this keybaord attached to your editbox input.

if this wont solve you issue, please be more spesific on what you need ..

good luck

You can override draws method in LatinKeyboardView :

  @Override
    public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        int offsetup=10;//px
        this.setPadding(0, 0, 0,offsetup);
        canvas.clipRect(0, 0, getRight(), getBottom()-offsetup);
        super.draw(canvas);         
    }

actually here I just shifted it up by padding and cut it by clipRect. in canvas there are another interesting methods ( rotate, scale, translate , & ...)

This image was taken from Emulator has keybaord with offsetup ( 20 px )

I hope this helps you.
