Android Edit Text Covered By Keyboard on Second Tap

Question

So I have an EditText that does not get covered by the keyboard the first time around. Then when you close the keyboard and tap the edittext again it covers the edittext.

I have spent hours researching this issue and have come to the conclusion it has something to do with these two properties of the edit text.

android:inputType="number"
android:gravity="center"

If I remove either one of those the adjustPan (as put in my manifest) works all the time as promised. Seems to be an Android bug. But I need both of these lines in my edit text. What is the best way to solve this problem?

Here is a slightly condensed version of xml:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:focusableInTouchMode="true">


<LinearLayout

            android:textSize="@dimen/edit_text_text_size"/>

    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Here is what it should look like every time...

Here is what it looks like on the second tap currently (keyboard covers edittext)...

EDIT: I have discovered the keyboard works fine when using Android 7.0. I don't think it works on anything below that. Was this a bug that was recently fixed or something?

Also, I have included android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|stateHidden" in both my application and activity part of my manifest but that doesn't seem to fix it.

Answer 1

Add this in your manifest for activity. It works fine

 <activity android:name=".Views.UI.MainActivity"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize">

Answer 2

Try changing adjustPan to adjustResize for the activity config in manifest file, as the document suggested it.

This (adjustPan) is generally less desirable than resizing, because the user may need to close the soft keyboard to get at and interact with obscured parts of the window.

EDIT

If you don't want the views to be crushed/adjusted when keyboard is opened, add a ScrollView to your root RelativeLayout. So that when adjustResize will scroll the view accordingly instead of "crushing" them.

Hope this helps!
