Move layouts up when soft keyboard is shown

Question

I have a few elements in a RelativeView with the align bottom attribute set  when the soft keyboard comes up the elements are hidden by the soft keyboard   I would like them to move up so that if there is enough screen space they are shown above the keyboard  or to make the section above the keyboard scrollable so the user can still see the elements   Any ideas on how to approach this

Yes  check out this article on the Android developers  site which describes how the framework handles the soft keyboard appearing   The android windowSoftInputMode attribute can be used to specify what happens on a per-activity basis  whether the layout is resized or whether it scrolls etc

In AndroidManifest xml  don t forget to set    android windowSoftInputMode  adjustResize    and for RelativeLayout inside ScrollView  set     android layout gravity  center  or android layout gravity  bottom     it will be okay

It might be late but I want to add few things  In Android Studio Version 4 0 1  and Gradle Version 6 1 1  the     windowSoftInputMode  will not work as expected if you are adding the following flags in your Activity   getWindow   setFlags                  WindowManager LayoutParams FLAG LAYOUT NO LIMITS                  WindowManager LayoutParams FLAG LAYOUT NO LIMITS             After wasting lot of time  I have found that hack   In order for adjustResize or AdjustPanor any attribute of windowSoftInputMode to work properly  you need to remove that from your activity

Alright this is very late however I ve discovered that if you add a List View under your edit text then the keyboard will move all layouts under that edittext without moving the ListView    lt EditText android id    id et  android layout height  match parent  android layout width  match parent       gt    lt ListView     android layout width  match parent      android layout height  match parent   can make as 1dp     android layout below    id et     set to below editext     android id    id view       gt     lt any layout     This is the only solution that worked for me

I have found a solution to my problems that it s pretty same as yours   First of all  I only have a LinearLayout with 2 elements  an ImageView and a LinearLayout wich contains 2 EditText and one Button  so I needed to keep them separate in full screen without keyboard  and when the keyboard appears they should look closer   So I added the view  between them with the height attribute in 0dp and weight 1  that let me keep  my views separate one form each other  and when the keyboard appers  as they don t have a fix height  they just resize and keep the aspect   Voila  The layout resize and the distance between my views is the same when the keyboard is or not present
