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?

You can also use this code in onCreate() method:

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

Answer 5

There are 3 steps to follow to scroll screen up.

1. Write in manifest file for your activity:

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

2. Add following line in oncreate() method of your activity

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

3. Then place your whole view in "Scrollview" in XML file like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/bg"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" 
    > 
    <RelativeLayout
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="center" >
        <TextView />
         .........
        <TextView />
        <EditText >
            <requestFocus />
        </EditText>
        <Button />
    </RelativeLayout>
 </ScrollView>

P.S. Don't forget to add android:layout_gravity="center" in parent Relative layout.

Answer 6

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
