Prevent Android Boxed TextInputLayout scroll to bottom suddenly on cursor positioning

I hava a long TextInputEditText in a TextInputLayout in a ScrollView, When I click at the start of the text to set the cursor position on the first line, but suddenly screen scrolls to bottom. see GIF below:
Now if I remove Material box style from TextInputLayout, everything is ok. No sudden scroll on first line click.
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/tilDescription"
<!--style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox.Dense"-->
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="40dp"
android:hint="Product Description"
app:counterEnabled="true"
see this GIF, when I remove style attribute:
What's wrong with outlined Box style?
Caution: I don't want to change windowSoftInputMode in AndroidManifest to adjustPan, I should use adjustResize because I have some other stuff which keyboard shouldn't appear on top of them.

For multi-line TextInputEditTexts that might be taller than the screen (especially after the soft keyboard is shown), you need to add the following to your TextInputEditText
app:textInputLayoutFocusedRectEnabled="false"
as described here: Android TextInputLayout writing focus issue when height is bigger than the screen

Android multiline EditText

I've one EditText with multi-lines.
The problem is that, while I am adding more and more lines, just pressing ENTER or typing, the EditText keeps scrolling down which is OK, but after approx. 10 lines whole activity is scrolling.
And when I click again on EditText, the opened keyboard covers whole EditText.
But, when I click only on 3rd line, keyboard isn't covering EditText and View is moved like it should have.
Any advice please?

Okay,Using EditText in ScrollView Like this way
<ScrollView
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#54D66A"
android:textSize="17sp" />
</ScrollView>
For programmatic approach please check
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/method/ScrollingMovementMethod.html

You can give android:maxHeight="60dp" to your EditText to stop scrolling of the whole Activity and it will solve other problem also.
I hope it helps.

EditText doesn't start automatically

In my app, I have an EditText. How do I make it doesn't start automatically? Like: once they open the activity it automatically sets the mouse to the EditText and the keyboard gets opened so they type…
Is there anyway I can make it open (the keyboard shows and the user can type) when they clicks on it?

Ok, so from your question i figure out that your EditText is getting focus while starting the activity. You can disable the focus using following command to suppress the keyboard.
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
Visit this Close/hide the Android Soft Keyboard

the answer by Lucifer must work. But when i got the same problem, that solution did't work, and someone suggested me this.
add a fake layout as the first element in you parent layout and make it focusable.
Like this:
<ParentLayout
.....
......>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true" >
</LinearLayout>
......
......
......
</ParentLayout>
This definitely works, but the best solution is:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

How to get focus for a button in between two editfields in android

i am having a button in between two edit fields. when iam using track ball to scroll ,button is getting focus but when i use the next button in softkeyboard after typing some text in editfield , focus is moving on to next editfield but not the button inbetween them .how to solve this..?

Use android:focusableInTouchMode attribute:
<Button ... android:focusableInTouchMode="true" />

I think android:nextFocusDown and android:nextFocusUp solves your problem.

Android's EditText is hidden when the virtual keyboard is shown and a SurfaceView is involved

I have a simple user interface: an EditText should be located below a SurfaceView.
I use a RelativeLayout to arrange these two views.
Now, when I tap on the EditText to open the virtual keyboard the SurfaceView slides up but the EditText is hidden and does not show the typed string.
To reproduce, use the following layout XML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout01"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<SurfaceView
android:id="#+id/SurfaceView01"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</SurfaceView>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/EditText01"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:selectAllOnFocus="true"
android:textStyle="normal"
android:singleLine="true">
</EditText>
</RelativeLayout>
The main Activity class only needs to show the layout. When I start the program and tap the EditText, the virtual keyboard appears but the EditText field is gone.
Maybe the RelativeLayout is causing the problems, but I don't know how to reproduce the same layout with another Layout class.
Any suggestions are welcome, I really appreciate your help.
Thanks.
Edit:
Here are two screenshots, one showing the EditText at the bottom without virtual keyboard, one with virtual keyboard but with no EditText. It is interesting to note that the SurfaceView and the EditText actually shift upward, the EditText just disappears. BTW this also happens to a button if it is next to the EditText.
EditText below a SurfaceView (left); EditText is gone (right)

As a commenter in the thread about this bug suggested, it is very easy to fix this problem by setting the background color of the SurfaceView or GLSurfaceView to transparent with mSurfaceView.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT); as well.
This problem occurred for me when pressing an EditText on Honeycomb (v13) on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The issue was that after the GLSurfaceView was resized, in its place was still a black rectangle which was covering the EditText. This solution works by making that erroneous rectangle transparent, so the EditText can be seen.

Add the follow code for your activity in your AndroidManifest.xml
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

Yes, it's right!
Add the follow code for your activity in your AndroidManifest.xml android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
And in your edit text, just add:
android:imeOptions="flagNoFullscreen"

i found that it has different result on different devices，then i use ScrollView as the root view and put the layout into ScrollView, when use fullScreen mode it works fine. and be sure to set android:fillViewport="true" if you still have some problem let me know liananse#163.com
