android making layout scrollable when soft keyboard open, but not shifting it upwards

Question

This is my screen, with one button hidden behind the keyboard.

I want exactly like this, but scrollable. -

Whenever, the keyboard

Answer 1

old questioned with which I struggled today, What worked for me was to remove "android:windowSoftInputMode" from manifest and activity XML and, instead of making the root scroll view, make the scroll view child of root-

    <androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout 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:id="@+id/FrameLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        tools:context=".MyActivity"
        >
        <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:id="@+id/my_scrollview"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            >
            <RelativeLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content">
  <!-- your xml code here. -->
    </RelativeLayout>
    </ScrollView>
    </androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

I tried your code and also I have the same issue Here

Here I make some correction in your code and values were codes as dummy(strings, colors ect)... Code Snippet is:

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/root_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true" >

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:padding="10dp" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:orientation="vertical" >

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/et_username_or_email"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:hint="HAI"
                android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
                android:singleLine="true" />

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/et_pswd"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:hint="HH"
                android:password="true"
                android:singleLine="true" />

            <Button
                android:id="@+id/btn_sign_in"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
                android:background="#5465"
                android:text="sigin"
                android:textColor="@android:color/white" />

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
                android:gravity="center_horizontal"
                android:text="ORR"
                android:textColor="@android:color/black" />

            <Button
                android:id="@+id/btn_take_a_peek"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
                android:background="#ff8f43"
                android:text="sfse"
                android:textColor="@android:color/white" />

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
                android:gravity="center_horizontal"
                android:text="Forgot"
                android:textColor="#ec0974" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_create_account"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:background="#ffd250"
        android:text="Create Accounr"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white" />
</RelativeLayout>
 </ScrollView>

Also set the below parameter to your activity in you Manifest

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

**Edited as in view outer layer is Relative layout inside a scrollview and i managed the Create Account button as parent bottom.

Please try it in a real device.

Try this and give your feedback !! Happy Coding..

Answer 3

Add this input mode in your manifest file.

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize"

Answer 4

Make the root of your view

<ScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    ...

</ScrollView>

Answer 6

I had the same Problem and solved it.

Add this to your class inside the <activity> tags in the AndroidManifest in your Class:

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize">

or:

<activity
        android:name="com.app.app.RegisterScreen"
        android:parentActivityName="com.app.app.LogInScreen"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan">

    </activity>

Example:

<activity
        android:name="com.app.yourapp.LogInScreen"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan">

</activity>

This works for me.
