In the layout file of one of my activities I've got 2 inputs at the top and at the bottom and a next button.
The problem is, when keyboard shows, it covers the button. How can I bring the views above keyboard?

You can use android:windowSoftInputMode attribute to specify what should happen whether the layout is resized or whether it scrolls.
In your manifest file
<activity name=".YourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize">
...
</activity>

Just put in manifest..
Use "adjustResize"
It makes main window always resized to make room for the soft keyboard on screen.
<application
......
>
<activity
.............................
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustResize" />
</application>

Is there a way to control where the soft keyboard appears on the screen? Assuming it takes the whole width, I would like to be able to specify a height so that the keyboard shows on the top half of the screen. Is this possible?
Currently I'm just showing the keyboard using SoftInputMode in the manifest file.
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible"
Please try using android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" attribute and also apply this attribute in the previous activity of current activity in which the keyboard is opened.
I have an EditText visible in a LinearLayout that I don't want to move when the soft keyboard is shown. The reason I don't want it to move is because I want to control the items above and adjust their sizes to make the EditText and the content it controls below to become visible.
Is it possible to prevent the screen moving at all once the soft keyboard is shown?
Note: I am using an activity with the toolbar hidden.
I have solved this - I have added the SetSoftInputMode to AdjustNothing to the OnCreate method. Doing this in the xml doesn't do anything, but in the code does.
In your AndroidManifest.xml file, go to your activity and add this.
<activity
...
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing"
/>
your views will remain in the same position
I want to move the layout up when the soft keyboard is open. I tried with all the options that I found in Google like
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
but my layout does not move up.
Can anyone please help?
From the doc
"adjustResize"
The activity's main window is always resized to make room for the soft
keyboard on screen.
"adjustPan"
The activity's main window is not resized to make room for the soft
keyboard. Rather, the contents of the window are automatically panned
so that the current focus is never obscured by the keyboard and users
can always see what they are typing. This is generally less desirable
than resizing, because the user may need to close the soft keyboard to
get at and interact with obscured parts of the window.
Try putting this in your manifest file
<application ... >
<activity
android:name=".myActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" ... >
...
</activity>
...
</application>
I am facing issues when soft keyboard opens up on my 2 pane layout as seen above.
For the left side list view fragment i want to adjustPan the soft input. If i don't do this then when the soft keyboard closes it leaves back blank space on the list fragment.
For the right side detail pane i want to adjestResize the soft input so that user can enter text into both edit texts and click button with soft keyboard still open.
I tried setting the properties differently for my fragments in their respective onCreateView() using setSoftInputMode() but that did not help me much because both fragments got adjustResize finally.
Any solutions/ideas which will help me with this?
Thanks in advance.
to ensure that the system resizes your layout to the available
space—which ensures that all of your layout content is accessible
(even though it probably requires scrolling)—use "adjustResize":
<application ... >
<activity
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" ... >
...
</activity>

I am designing an Android app and I'm having a couple of layout issues.
I have a screen with 3 EditTexts on it in a row, and I would like for the 'next' key on the soft keyboard to cycle between the EditText fields. As for now, the 'next' key has no effect.
Also, when the soft keyboard is displayed, it covers up the third of the EditTexts. Is there any way to push up the layout in the event that the soft keyboard is drawn?
Thanks!
For the second problem, on your <activity> element of the AndroidManifest.xml use android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize":
<activity android:name=".YourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
</activity>
Make sure you have wrapped the content of your layout into a ScrollView, so that it will be easily browsable.
