Move layouts up when soft keyboard is shown?

Question

Yes, check out this article on the Android developers' site which describes how the framework handles the soft keyboard appearing.

The android:windowSoftInputMode attribute can be used to specify what happens on a per-activity basis: whether the layout is resized or whether it scrolls etc.

You can also use this code in onCreate() method:

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);

Add in AndroidManifest.xml for your activity:

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize"

Make changes in the activity of your Manifest file like

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

OR

Make changes in your onCreate() method in the activity class like

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

similar issue i was facing with my layout which consist scroll view inside. Whenever i try to select text in EditText,Copy/Cut/Paste action bar gets moved up with below code as such it does not resize layout

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

By modifying it to as below

1. AndroidManifest.xml

   android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize"

2. style.xml file ,in activity style

   true

It worked for me.

In AndroidManifest.xml, don't forget to set:

 android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

and for RelativeLayout inside ScrollView ,set :

 android:layout_gravity="center" or android:layout_gravity="bottom" 

it will be okay

for Activity in its oncreate methode insert below line

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);

and for fragments in its onCreate method

getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);
