Android Toolbar moves up when keyboard appears

Question

I'm creating a chat based UI screen where I have toolbar and recyclerview for chat messages, and reply msg layout.

Whenever edittext get focus It moves up the toolbar. Instead I would like to resize the recyclerview.

some of the stackoverflow answers suggest to place a empty scrollview below the toolbar, but It didn't work.

        <activity             android:name=".PostMessageActivity"             android:label="@string/title_activity_post_message"             android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize"             >         </activity> 

I am setting the windowSoftInputMode to stateVisible|adjustPan in the manifest file.

Answer 1

The problem was that I was using <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item> in styles.xml

To enable adjustResize add android:fitsSystemWindows="true" in your activity's parent layout
