Ren'Py Moving Input in Android (to avoid keyboard)

[Impious Monk]

I'm porting my Ren'py game over to Android and I've got just one problem left to solve. When the game asks the player to input a first name, the keyboard covers up whatever is being typed in by the player. I've read that the solution to this is to move the input upwards, but I have not been able to figure out how to implement that solution. Any assistance would be appreciated. Here is the code I've got:

    xx "In {i}Leaving DNA{/i}, you will play the role of Assistant District Attorney Rockford."
    $ mc_name = renpy.input("What is your first name? (leave blank for default)", length=16)
    $ mc_name = mc_name.strip()
    if not mc_name:
        $ mc_name = "John"
    xx "Your name is [mc_name] Rockford."

there might be a away but you will need to code it by yourself by using google voice controls somehow

meaning of code it by yourself
it hasn't been done before with renpy that I know of... so it might work or it might not work

Open the "screen.rpy" file, then search the screen named "input". You'll find a vbox, and have to change the value for the ypos property.

But you'll probably want something a bit better, so this should do it:

screen input(prompt):
    style_prefix "input"

    window:

        vbox:
            xalign gui.dialogue_text_xalign
            xpos gui.dialogue_xpos
            xsize gui.dialogue_width
            if renpy.variant("touch"):  #
                ypos 100                #
            else:                       #
                ypos gui.dialogue_ypos

            text prompt style "input_prompt"
            input id "input"

Thank you, Anne!
