Answer 1

Turns out it's pretty easy,

• Add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" to your activity in manifest
• Make sure your root view in layout xml, has android:fitsSystemWindows="true" property

Answer 2

If you want to see FloatingActionBar move above keyboard, you should:

1) Insert FloatingActionBar inside CoordinatorLayout:

<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout     android:id="@+id/coordinator"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent">      <com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton         android:id="@+id/fab"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"         android:layout_margin="16dp"         android:src="@drawable/ic_img" />  </androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout> 

2) Add in root View (where your FAB exist) code:

android:fitsSystemWindows="true". 

For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:fitsSystemWindows="true"     android:orientation="vertical"     tools:context=".AddFilm">      <androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout         android:id="@+id/coordinator"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent">          <com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton             android:id="@+id/fab"             android:layout_width="wrap_content"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"             android:layout_margin="16dp"             android:src="@drawable/ic_img" />      </androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>  </LinearLayout> 

3) Add next code in AndroidManifest.xml to your Activity:

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" 

For example:

<activity         android:name=".MainActivity"         android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"/>
