How can I display a dialog above the keyboard

Question

I'm a newbie with android, I write an application which using the Dialog to display data when user select on one thing. This is how the dialog looks:

But when I tap on the last EditText to enter some data, the dialog still shows, when I type the first character, the dialog scrolls down. The dialog stays behind the keyboard, with some parts totally obscured.

Could anyone tell me how to show the whole dialog above the soft keyboard? This is how I'd like it to look:

Answer 1

Have you tried ths one?

Worked for me:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Window.html#setSoftInputMode(int).

alertDialog.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);

Answer 2

You may need to set dialog's width and height manually in order to make soft input mode work like this:

    WindowManager.LayoutParams params = window.getAttributes();
    params.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
    params.height = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
    params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;
    window.setAttributes(params); 
    window.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE );
