@Arunachalam3641 if you simplify the layouts here does that fix?

Like just use a ListView at the root?

Hi @PureWeen,

I tried without the ScrollView layout; the same issue output is replicated. We are required to show the all elements inside the scroll view. Please provide the solution based on the requirement.

Verified this on Visual Studio Enterprise 17.9.0 Preview 5(8.0.3). Repro on Android 14.0-API34, not repro on iOS 17.2 with below Project: NavigationViewDemo.zip

@Arunachalam3641 if you toggle this property does it work?

Not making a difference.

I have resolved the problem for my project (on Android), the issue is different but i think might be related.

I was using translationY to hide and show a menu that comes up from the bottom. the translationY = 0 position of my menu needs to be within the screen area for the keyboard-obscuring-entry-prevention mechanism to work. If The translationY = 0 position of the menu is set to be below the screen area (done using AbsoluteLayout), then this mechanism won't work.

In your case I see that the translationX = 0 position is already in the screen area, I think the issue is more related to using a ListView. Maybe try using BindableLayout + VerticalStackLayout to set your menu items, instead of using a ListView

Hi @PureWeen,

I tried without the ScrollView layout; the same issue output is replicated. We are required to show the all elements inside the scroll view. Please provide the solution based on the requirement.

My main point was that this layout doesn't seem to make sense

https://github.com/Arunachalam3641/EntryIssueAndroid/blob/main/NavigationViewDemo/NavigationViewDemo/MainPage.xaml#L8-L23

SV => VSL => LV

is redundant

LV is already a scrollable component

Also can you try this? https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/19819#issuecomment-1942110800

Hi @PureWeen,

1. https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/19819#issuecomment-2000594234

I tried using VerticalStackLayout and ListView after removing the ScrollView from the sample. However, there is no change in the output. Please view the attached image. The keyboard still hides the entry.

I have also tried using WindowSoftInputModeAdjust="Resize", but the same result persists. The keyboard still hides the entry. Please refer to the attached image below. I tried this approach without using ScrollView.
