I have a jquery-mobile (1.3.1) + phonegap app in which I am using a pop-up widget (This app is for Android-any vresion). This popup is for sign-in (it has Username, Password and a "Sign-in" button. Whenever I click on a text-field (either Username or Password) the device keyboard comes-up but it overlaps with the popup. Because of this overlap, users cannot see what they are typing, and cannot click on Sign-In unless the keyboard is minimized. Here is the code what I have now - I've already used "data-position-to="window"
<a href="#popupLogin" data-rel="popup" data-position-to="window" data-role="button" data-inline="true" data-icon="check" data-theme="a" data-transition="pop">Done</a>
<div data-role="popup" id="popupMenu" data-theme="a" >
<div data-role="popup" id="popupLogin" data-overlay-theme="e" data-theme="a" class="ui-corner-all">
<form>
<div style="padding:10px 20px;" data-overlay-theme="b">
<h3>Please sign in</h3>
<label for="ppcOpremarks" class="ui-hidden-accessible">Remarks</label>
<textarea name="ppcOpremarks" id="ppcOpremarks" value="" placeholder="Remarks (if any)" data-theme="a" ></textarea>
<label for="un" class="ui-hidden-accessible">Username</label>
<input name="user" id="un" value="" placeholder="username" data-theme="a" type="text">
<label for="pw" class="ui-hidden-accessible">Password</label>
<input name="pass" id="pw" value="" placeholder="password" data-theme="a" type="password">
<a href="#menuPage">
<button type="submit" data-theme="a" data-icon="check" id="ppCheckDone" onClick="updateppc()">Sign-In</button>
</a> </div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
How to make my popup move towards upward direction instead of overlapping with the device keyboard?
You can reposition a popup once an input field is focused within it.
$("#popupLogin input, #popupLogin textarea").on("focus", function () {
$("#popupLogin").popup("reposition", {
y: 0 /* move it to top */
});
});
