Strange layout on horizontal orientation

Question

In my Activity I have an EditText on the ActionBar with android:imeOptions="actionDone".
Under it I have a Fragment.
It works great on vertical orientation (great = as expected).

However on horizontal orientation the only thing I can see is a big EditText with a big button Done and keyboard.
It is not styled, I can't see the ActionBar nor my Fragment.

Is this the standard behavior in Android to show an EditText like that?
Can I force Android not to do this?

Answer 1

Yes, it is standard. It is called extract mode.

You can disable it using:

mEditText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_EXTRACT_UI);

or

android:imeOptions="actionDone|flagNoExtractUi"
