Steps to reproduce

1. Create a poll
2. Select a Text field

Expected behaviour

Either being able to scroll, or the popup shrinking to fit above the keyboard, or the keyboard autohiding.

Actual behaviour

The keyboard is in the way and I can't reach the button to create the form. The standard keyboard on my phone doesn't have a hide button, so it stays there.

There isn't any code related to Polls in the Android app. I think this is just a general Polls app mobile web matter.

Feel free to open a bug in that project's repository:

https://github.com/nextcloud/polls

Though you should be able to close the keyboard via any of the following:

• hitting back once / making the back gesture
• tapping a non-input area

You can also adjust keyboard settings on any phone I've ever encountered to turn the keyboard closer button back on (the setting is in different spots depending on make/model but easy to lookup via your favorite search engine).

yeah I thought hitting back would work too but according to my coworker who had this problem, it did not. Tapping in a non input area didn't work afaik. I will see if they can change the settings. Thanks

@joshtrichards I have made an issue on nextcloud polls but I've just realised that you may have misunderstood my issue. This is not regarding to the polls app but to chat polls, which are completely different according to my other coworker who set it up. We don't even have polls enabled on our server.

[moritztim]

This is a chat poll (on the desktop app)

[joshtrichards]

Oh okay. In that case you're probably encountering this in the Android Talk app. I'll move this issue over there for you:

I can't remember to ever come across a keyboard like this before, so for me the android version etc would be interesting.

So you say the marked button here is not available?:

Given it's not available, i get your point.

Regardless of the bug, i was thinking about whether it makes more sense to use the full screen instead of having it as a dialog. Then we could make the input fields scrollable & squeezable while the main buttons always remain visible.

Apparently the button wasn't there anymore after an OS update 💀 but either way, I have seen keyboard where you could disable that button, idk why you would do that but it's a thing and I think it should be supported
