It seems that a recent update of Flutter changed the behavior of the BottomNavigationBar. Formerly, when the keyboard appeared, the keyboard would cover the BottomNavigationBar. Now, however, the BottomNavigationBar sticks to the top of the keyboard when it appears and is always visible.
How do I set the BottomNavigationBar to remain underneath the keyboard when the keyboard appears?
bottomNavigationBar: new BottomNavigationBar(
type: BottomNavigationBarType.fixed,
fixedColor: Colors.blue,
onTap: _navigationTapped,
currentIndex: _pageIndex,
items: [
new BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: new Icon(Icons.apps), title: new Text("Manage")),
new BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: new Icon(Icons.multiline_chart), title: new Text("A")),
new BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: new Icon(Icons.check_box), title: new Text("B")),
new BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: new Icon(Icons.person_add), title: new Text("C")),
new BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: new Icon(Icons.border_color), title: new Text("D")),
]
),
