Why can't I see the right side of my activity on my phone?

I'm trying to code an app for a school project. I'm stuck with the design. I can't see the right side of my activity on my phone, but it's appearing on the Android Studio preview. It's possible that my code isn't right or that i've didn't respect something.
And here are the 2 screenshots:

There are 8 similar relative layouts showing quite the same thing, here's
only one

#titouan-pellerin - Unlike using div as a container for (most) things as in Website Design, you don't need to be repeatedly wrapping each individual view inside of it's own layout..For Example, if I wanted to my activity to vertically show something like this:(Title)(some smaller subtext)(An Image)(Some Description text)(And two buttons at the bottom)..I wouldn't wrap each of these things individually in their own layout - I would simply create 1 base layout (to act as the main container), and then inside of it, I would create 1 vertical layout for the content (arranged vertically), and 1 horizontal layout for the Buttons at the bottom (arranged horizontally).Of course you will also want to set your margins according to how you want everything displayed.You are most likely experiencing issues due to a mixture of margins getting added together over and over again and expanding past the screen's boundaries, combined with the fact that the phone is likely of different pixel density and resolution compared to the emulator.Step 1: Fix your Layout, as I described above.Step 2: Choose/Setup an Emulator that matches your Device most closely in Resolution/PixelDensity.Hope this helps!If you found this to be a good explanation, please accept this as the answer to your question.Thanks, and happy coding!

Linear Layout overlapping with Scroll view and other Linear Layout

Recently i have encounterd a problem. My linear layout where my edit text and image button is in is overlapping with my toolbar and my scroll view. I've tried other things like layout_below etc and nothing worked. Groupchat.xml
<RelativeLayout
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"
tools:context=".GroupChatActivity"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
android:id="#+id/group_chat_bar_layout"
layout="#layout/app_bar_layout">
</include>
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/my_scroll_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/group_chat_bar_layout"
android:layout_above="#+id/myLinearLayout">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/group_chat_text_display"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textColor="#android:color/background_dark"
android:layout_marginStart="2dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="2dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="50dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/myLinearLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/input_group_message"
android:layout_width="270dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Write message..." />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/send_message_button"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/send_message" />
</LinearLayout>
This is how the preview of the groupchat.xml file looks in Android Studio:
enter image description here
This was how the app looked with this code.
This are the results
Just in case, this is the code of my toolbar: Appbarlayout.xml
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
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:id="#+id/app_bar_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
It in a seperate xml because i'm using it for other activities in my app to thats why theres ang include in th Groupchat.xml
ALSO I AM FOLLOWING THIS TUTORILA. I suggest you go ther and see it because that is what i followed.
go to this video
Thank you.

The problem is with layout placements. your LinearLayout with ID: myLinearLayout is not aligned anywhere in RelativeLayout that's why it is getting rendered on top of the screen. make following changes and your good to go.
in your LinearLayout with id: myLinearLayout, add this line:
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
like this:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/myLinearLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:orientation="horizontal">

Add
android:layout_below="#+id/group_chat_bar_layout"
this line to LinearLayout
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/myLinearLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/group_chat_bar_layout"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/input_group_message"
android:layout_width="270dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Write message..." />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/send_message_button"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/bkg" />
</LinearLayout>`

Softkeyboard pushes whole layout to the top

I am working on an app in which I have implemented the live video broadcasting, and have a feature to place a live comment just like a Facebook live video feature. The problem I am facing is with EditTextView for comments. When Soft Keyboard appears on the screen It pushes the layout to the top.
I have tried to adjustResize, adjsutPan & adjust Nothing properties in Manifest. But these properties doesn't fulfill the UI requirement. What I want is to just move EditTextView to the top of Soft Keyboard and the rest of the layout as it is.
Layout

Please help me out to solve this issue. Thanks

use android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize" inside your manifest

If android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize didn't help you, I think it's better to use <ScrollView> in your XML file

How do I make my recyclerview taking all wrap_content, when its available, but shrink down, if not?

I am sitting a long time to get my layout working. There should be an EditText on top. A RecyclerView after that. An ImageButton after that. At the bottom of the activity should be a Button. This looks fine. There is a Space between the ImageButton and Button which has height=0dp and weight=1. Rest has height=wrap_content.
When I open up the keyboard, the RecyclerView keeps being full-sized. This doesnt look fine. I want it to make space to let the Buttons fit on the screen. It should be like that
I tried to make the RecyclerView height=0dp too, but then the Space doesnt work as it should. Their height would depend on each other weight. When I remove the Space and try to get the Button to the bottom while Recyclerview has height=0dp, it would fill the entire free space, so the ImageButton would stick to the Button instead of to the end of the list.
If I would put the ImageButton as the last element of the RecyclerView, it wouldnt be always on the screen when the List is too long.
Layout-XML-only solution would be appreciated.
#edit: My layout breaks completely when I add more items. This should be fixed with the same approach.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

you can give weight to recyclerview
like this:

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:hint="enter name"
android:inputType="text|textAutoComplete|textAutoCorrect|textShortMessage"
android:maxLength="25" />
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
app:layoutManager="android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager">
</android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/bt_add"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:background="#null"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_delete" />
<Space
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/bt_save"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:text="save" />
</LinearLayout>

Android Toolbar layout is horizontal

I'm trying to use a couple views within a support.v7.widget.Toolbar, but it looks like they're all placed as if in a horizontal LinearLayout. I'm looking to create something more like this where the EditText ends past the overflow menu, rather than where the overflow menu begins. Here's my currently layout:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity"
tools:ignore="MergeRootFrame">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="250sp"
android:background="#color/primary"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_id"
android:layout_width="40sp"
android:layout_height="40sp"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/url"
android:textColor="#color/accent"
android:textSize="16sp" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/url_text_field_id"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
android:maxLines="1" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/output_text_view_id"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/initial_output_text_id"
android:textSize="16sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
Here's a screenshot. You can see the views are in line with the share button and overflow menu. The title is also hidden on the left hand side by the views. How would I have a second row for my views in the Toolbar so they span the width of the page? Hopefully, I'm just missing something small, as I'm new to Android. Thanks in advance for the help.

You could, probably, put a vertical LinearLayout into your Toolbar
