Fixes to make it compile and work from Sdk 21 to 36 - #978

Correction: minSdkVersion needs to be reduced to 34 or else bottom of keyboard hides behind navbar on Android 16.

Probably there's a way to fix this using android:fitsSystemWindows="true", but unfortunately I don't know how to specify this for the keyboard itself.

Found it. In the end, keyboard layouts (the input_*.xml files) work just like any other layout, and do understand android:fitsSystemWindows="true" after all. So it's Sdk 36 again.

Commit 81457ca, the pull request doesn't seem to pick it up automatically any longer...

Great, and thanks for releasing APKs.

I had to uninstall the original HK and so re-enter my custom setup, but it works :)

@AlainKnaff : thanks again. Some notes after a couple of weeks usage on Xiaomi Redmi Note 14, Android 15:

• I saw the navbar over keyboard once or twice, but "back"ing out to close the keyboard, and tapping into text input area opened it in a correct location/size.
• Rather often (enough to notice, a few times per week) the keyboard pops out unexpected, like on the desktop over the icons.
  • When it does so over apps, this is quite disruptive actually: they do not know of it, window sizes do not adjust, bottom half is just obscured; worse, when I habitually press navbar Back to hide the keyboard, actually the app gets that event and does something I usually did not want it to.
  • Example (Firefox tab-list window has no input for text, but the keyboard just appeared; original HK build never did that):

• The navbar is now gray not black like before, sometimes with kbd buttons visible. I think the navbar window tries to render a keyboard of its own?

UPDATE: I've been using https://github.com/AlainKnaff/hackerskeyboard/releases/tag/1.42.8ak for the past month or so, and most of the annoyance from the previous post still applies. The problems resolved since the last original release by @klausw do also apply, thanks to both :)
