I tried to write a code which is used to re-size the UI components when soft-keyboard appears. When I use adjustResize, it res-size the UI components and at the same time adjustPan gave me same output. I want to know the difference between them and when to use each component? Which one(adjustPan or adjustResize) is good for resizing UI?
Here is my xml:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText5"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="45dp"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPersonName" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="40dp"
android:text="My Button" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
and the menifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.adjustscroll"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.adjustscroll.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

You can use android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustResize"
in AndroidManifest.xml for your current activity,
and use android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
in styles or rootLayout.
adjustResize = resize the page content
adjustPan = move page content without resizing page content
As doc says also keep in mind the correct value combination:
The setting must be one of the values listed in the following table, or a combination of one "state..." value plus one "adjust..." value. Setting multiple values in either group — multiple "state..." values, for example — has undefined results. Individual values are separated by a vertical bar (|). For example:
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize" . . . >
I was also a bit confused between adjustResize and adjustPan when I was a beginner. The definitions given above are correct.
AdjustResize : Main activity's content is resized to make room for soft input i.e keyboard
AdjustPan : Instead of resizing overall contents of the window, it only pans the content so that the user can always see what is he typing
AdjustNothing : As the name suggests nothing is resized or panned. Keyboard is opened as it is irrespective of whether it is hiding the contents or not.
I have a created a example for better understanding
Below is my xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:hint="Type Here"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/button1"/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button1"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@id/button2"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/margin70dp"/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/button2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button2"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@id/button1"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@id/button3"
android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/margin70dp"/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/button3"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button3"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@id/button2"
android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/margin70dp"/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
