layout of the screen moves up when keyboard is displayed

Question

Let say I have the following layout:

when I click on the edit text at the bottom I get this:

As you can notice the image from the top goes upper and the whole layout moves. This is my xml for this layout:

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

</LinearLayout>  </RelativeLayout> 

And I have also set this in manifest file for this activity:

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" 

So is there a way to stop my layout from moving when the keyboard is displayed? Thank you!!!!

Answer 1

Try using

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize" 

for the activity.

Answer 2

well, I have not mentioned any "windowSoftInputMode" in my app's manifest and it runs fine. Screen does not move up when the keyboard opens up. Try this approach - just remove the "windowSoftInputMode" parameter from your manifest .
