How to push up the whole view when a keyboard comes up, what layout changes needed? [duplicate]

Question

I am having trouble pushing up the entire recycler view when the keyboard is diplayed, it cuts off the message that is previous. I am create a chat view that looks like this xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/commentsParentLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/noCommentsResults"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@+id/lineSep"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/noCommentsFound"
        android:textSize="20sp"
        android:visibility="gone" />

    <android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
        android:id="@+id/pullToLoadMore"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@+id/lineSep"
        android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
        android:paddingBottom="10dp">

        <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
            android:id="@+id/comments_recycler_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:scrollbars="none"
            />
    </android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>

    <View
        android:id="@+id/lineSep"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="1dp"
        android:layout_above="@+id/commentsAddLayout"
        android:background="@color/horizontalLine" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/commentsAddLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/emojiSelector"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="36dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:src="@drawable/emoji" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/commentText"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
            android:layout_weight="4"
            android:background="@android:color/transparent"
            android:hint="@string/add_comment"
            android:maxLength="150" />

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1">

            <View
                android:layout_width="1dp"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:background="@color/horizontalLine" />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/sendComment"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:text="@string/send"
                android:textSize="18sp" />
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

And this is my recycler view code:

 private void setupAdapter() {

        //stops lag for recycler view for load
        commentsRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
        commentsAdapter = new CommentsAdapter(this, dbCommentsList, TypeFaceProvider.getTypeFace(this, 0),
                TypeFaceProvider.getTypeFace(this, 1), TypeFaceProvider.getTypeFace(this, 2));
        LinearLayoutManager mLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
        mLayoutManager.setReverseLayout(true);
        mLayoutManager.setStackFromEnd(true);

        commentsRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(mLayoutManager);

        commentsRecyclerView.setItemAnimator(new DefaultItemAnimator());

        commentsAdapter.setOnEntryClickListener(new CommentsAdapter.OnEntryClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onEntryClick(View view, int position) {
                DatabaseComment comment = dbCommentsList.get(position);
                TextView deleteBtn = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.commentUserRemove);
                if (view == deleteBtn) {

                    //used to remove the comment from db and the list
                    db.removeSingleComment(comment);
                    dbCommentsList.remove(position);
                    commentsAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

                } else {
                    takeToUserProfile(dbCommentsList.get(position));
                }
            }
        });

        commentsRecyclerView.setAdapter(commentsAdapter);
        commentsRecyclerView.scrollToPosition(0);

        hideProgressDialog();
    }

This is my comments adapter:

public class CommentsAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder> {

    private static OnEntryClickListener mOnEntryClickListener;
    private List<DatabaseComment> dbCommentsList;
    private Typeface typeFace, italicTypeface, boldTypeface;

    public CommentsAdapter(Context mContext, List<DatabaseComment> comments, Typeface myTypeface, Typeface myTypefaceItalic, Typeface myTypefaceBold) {
        Context context = mContext;
        dbCommentsList = comments;
        typeFace = myTypeface;
        italicTypeface = myTypefaceItalic;
        boldTypeface = myTypefaceBold;
    }

    public void setOnEntryClickListener(OnEntryClickListener onEntryClickListener) {
        mOnEntryClickListener = onEntryClickListener;
    }

    @Override
    public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        switch (viewType) {
            case 0:
                return new MyFeatureViewHolder(LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
                        .inflate(R.layout.comment_business_item, parent, false));
            case 1:
                return new MyViewHolder(LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
                        .inflate(R.layout.comment_user_item, parent, false));
        }

        return new MyViewHolder(LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext())
                .inflate(R.layout.comment_user_item, parent, false));


    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {

        int pos = getItemViewType(position);

        //is a business comment
        if (pos == 0) {
            MyFeatureViewHolder featureViewHolder = (MyFeatureViewHolder) holder;

            DatabaseComment dbComment = dbCommentsList.get(position);

            featureViewHolder.commentCompany.setTypeface(boldTypeface);
            featureViewHolder.commentCompanyMsg.setTypeface(typeFace);
            featureViewHolder.commentCompanyDate.setTypeface(italicTypeface);

            featureViewHolder.commentCompany.setText(dbComment.getUsername());
            featureViewHolder.commentCompanyMsg.setText(dbComment.getCommentText());

            Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
            date.setTimeInMillis(dbComment.getCommentDate());
            int newMonth = date.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
            String commentDateTxt = (newMonth + "." + date.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + "." + date.get(Calendar.YEAR));

            featureViewHolder.commentCompanyDate.setText(commentDateTxt);


        }



        //anything greater than 0 is a user comment - with emoji
        if (pos == 1) {
            MyViewHolder myViewHolder = (MyViewHolder) holder;

            if (dbCommentsList.get(position).getIsChanged() == 1) {
                myViewHolder.commentUserRemove.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            } else {
                myViewHolder.commentUserRemove.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            }

            DatabaseComment dbComment = dbCommentsList.get(position);

            myViewHolder.commentUsername.setTypeface(boldTypeface);
            myViewHolder.commentUserMsg.setTypeface(typeFace);
            myViewHolder.commentUserDate.setTypeface(italicTypeface);

            myViewHolder.commentUsername.setText(dbComment.getUsername());
            myViewHolder.commentUserMsg.setText(dbComment.getCommentText());

            Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
            date.setTimeInMillis(dbComment.getCommentDate());

            //Note only one plus one because of new comments added will
            int newMonth = date.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
            String commentDateTxt = (newMonth + "." + date.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + "." + date.get(Calendar.YEAR));

            myViewHolder.commentUserDate.setText(commentDateTxt);

            int[] commentsImageList = new int[]{R.drawable.e1, R.drawable.e1, R.drawable.e2, R.drawable.e3, R.drawable.e4,
                    R.drawable.e5, R.drawable.e6, R.drawable.e7, R.drawable.e8, R.drawable.e9, R.drawable.e10,
                    R.drawable.e11, R.drawable.e12, R.drawable.e13, R.drawable.e14,
                    R.drawable.e15, R.drawable.e16, R.drawable.e17, R.drawable.e18, R.drawable.e19};
            myViewHolder.emojiIcon.setImageResource(commentsImageList[dbComment.getIsType()]);


        }


    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return dbCommentsList.size();
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemViewType(int position) {
        if (dbCommentsList.get(position).getIsType() == 0) {
            return 0;
        } else {
            return 1;
        }
    }


    public interface OnEntryClickListener {
        void onEntryClick(View view, int position);
    }

    public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
        public TextView commentUsername, commentUserMsg, commentUserDate, commentUserRemove;
        public ImageView emojiIcon;


        public MyViewHolder(View view) {
            super(view);
            commentUsername = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.commentUsername);
            commentUserMsg = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.commentUserMsg);

    }
}

So when the edit text box is selected the messages in the list view do not move up, but the SEND button and the rest do - so not sure what I need to do to push up the comments view? It looks like I might have a layout issue - but trying the answers in the other questions have not solved it for me:

Solution 1: The adjustpan pushes the view up too high going over the battery and time in the status bar and slightly cutting off the bottom of the view when the keyboard pops up.

Solution 2: The adjustresize does nothing the view still stays the same.

Answer 1

If you want to resize your content when the softkeyboard opened, use adjust resize

<application ... >
    <activity
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" ... >
        ...
    </activity>
    ...
</application>

or if you want your screen pushed to top, use adjustPan in your manifest

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