How to move the layout up when the soft keyboard i

Question

I have a login screen with two EditTexts and a login button in my layout. The problem is that, when I start typing, the soft keyboard is shown and covers the login button. How can I push the layout up or above the keyboard when it appears?

I do not want to use a ScrollView, just want to implement it without scrolling down. Please, suggest me some way of doing it. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Accoding to this guide, the correct way to achieve this is by declaring in your manifest:

<activity name="EditContactActivity"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize">

    </activity>

Answer 2

Set windowSoftInputMode property to adjustPan and adjustResize

<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize"> </activity>

Answer 3

Try this in the android manifest file corresponding to the activity.

<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"> </activity>

Answer 4

If you are working with xamarin, you can put this code WindowSoftInputMode =Android.Views.SoftInput.AdjustPan | Android.Views.SoftInput.AdjustResize in activity attribute of the MainActivity class. For example, now the activity attribute will look like below

    [Activity(WindowSoftInputMode =Android.Views.SoftInput.AdjustPan | Android.Views.SoftInput.AdjustResize)]
    public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsApplicationActivity
    {
        //some code here.
    }

Answer 5

This will definitely work for you.

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

Answer 6

I somehow achieved this by knowing the status of the soft keyboard on the device. i move the layout to y position when the keyboard is shown and moved back to its original position when not shown. this works fine, followed this guidelines.
