Activity isn't resizing when keyboard is shown

Question

I have a simple activity that displays a big multiline EditText and some other controls below it. I want the activity to resize so the buttons are not hidden by the keyboard when the user is typing in the EditText.

I have tried all sorts of sketchy and non-sketchy solutions I have found online - nothing works.

Here's what I've tried so far:

• Putting android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" in the manifest.
• Putting android:fitsSystemWindows="true" in the layout root.
• Using RelativeLayout vs. LinearLayout as root.
• Removed all themes from the activity
• Created a custom theme and put <item name="android:windowFullscreen">false</item> in it.
• Tried the proposed solution here, with my entire activity layout inside a ScrollView.

Anything left to try?

Answer 1

Put the following lines in your onCreate()

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);

Then your Activity will automatically push up/down when , Key Board shown/hide in screen.

Setting up with , Manifest file , didn't work for me.

Answer 2

Put your form inside ScrollView. So that when keyboard pop-out, your components are able to scroll.
