When in the runtime. if I press on a textfield keyboard will be appear which is tottaly normal. But there is a problem background image has been shrinked.

Is there any way to avoid it. Background image shouldn't shrink

Answer 1

you have to change your manifest file

in your activity tag

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" 

add this.

see this http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#wsoft

Answer 2

We have to set background onto top-level view added to the Window Manager

Follow 2 steps to resolve this issue:

1.You have to set background into onCreate() method

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.drawable.your_drawable_background);
}

2.Remove background from your xml

android:background="@drawable/your_drawable_background"

Background Shrink with Scroll View Issue would be resolved completely.

Answer 3

Ok I fixed it by using

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan"

entry inside tag in manifest file. That should work.
