Android: TextInputEditText showing text only after change focus

I have a big problem with a EditText that does not show any input until i change focus from element. When I click on the input, the keyboard appears and while i type, there is nothing displayed in the edit text view. The input is shown only when i close the keyboard
It is not a problem of colours. I mention that the view are contained in a constraint layout. I can enable hardware acceleration but this will slow down the application very much and it's not an option. I can however discard the constraint layout and change it to a linear layout but this will affect the rest of the code. I am sure that I am missing something, an easy fix, but i can't put my finger on it. Thanks a lot in advance
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/codeEditTextContainer"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
android:layout_marginRight="30dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/verifyButton"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/codeEditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:inputType="text"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/sms_code"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textColor="#color/white" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
!!UPDATE
Found the problem, but still i have no answer. This problem is present only on Android Pie and only when the edit text is in the lower part of the screen and has to be raised by the soft keyboard. I already tried to add softInputWindowMode to adjustResize or adjustPan but this is not doing anything.
The problem itself is a duplicate to this question Android Pie edittext does not adjustPan/resize while typing
which still doesn't have an answer

The problem man be about hardwareAccelerated. I was having the same problem and waste too much time to solve before saw this page.

Android Keyboard style with OK Button

I am creating an app and I need help.
I want to create a EditText and when the user open the keyboard to fill the edit text, that keyboard must have the "OK"or "Done" button inside it.
Example:
Thank you so much

You need to use ime options action done
You need to use single line (although deprecated)
example:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/saveDialogEditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:digits="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890-_ ."
android:hint="#string/enter_palette_name_hint"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textAutoComplete"
android:singleLine="true"/>

android editText multiline return to line not working with swiftkey

I have the following edit text
<EditText
android:id="#+id/txtMessage"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:gravity="start"
android:inputType="text|textMultiLine"
android:minHeight="90dp"
android:singleLine="false"
android:textColor="#color/textColor" />
Every reference shows that the code is correct and in fact the text wraps to multiline. But the enter key doesn't go to the new line when i use swiftkey keyboard (Google keyboard works fine)
any idea of how to solve this issue ?
Thanks

Have you considered switching to the default keyboard. It might solve your issue.
See this answer Set EditText to be Multiline(Enter is carrige return) and not display suggestions for more details.

How to make Android EditText expand vertically when full

I have this EditText
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="72dp"
android:hint="#string/write_message"
android:textColorHint="#color/primary_color"
android:ems="10"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textImeMultiLine"
android:id="#+id/message_input"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:backgroundTint="#color/primary_color"/>
When the box is filled up with user inputted text, it scrolls to the right to make room for more text, I do not like this behavior, and would prefer it if the EditText box expanded upwards when it needs more room? Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

Yes, this actually involves two things:
Making the EditText accept multi-line input.
Having its height grow as more text lines are added.
Therefore, to achieve this, you need to set up:
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
(Be mindful of the difference between textMultiLine and textImeMultiLine).
The full XML snippet would be:
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/write_message"
android:textColorHint="#color/primary_color"
android:ems="10"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:id="#+id/message_input"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:backgroundTint="#color/primary_color"/>

Use both flags: textMultiLine will wrap your input, and textImeMultiLine will provide a break-line key in your keyboard.
<EditText
...
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textImeMultiLine|textMultiLine"
... />

In my case I have multiline text, but it showed one line and a keyboard:
Though I have already set android:inputType="textCapSentences|textAutoCorrect|textMultiLine", it didn't help. Then I understood that when the keyboard appears in DialogFragment, it collapses the EditText. See DialogFragment and force to show keyboard to show keyboard when DialogFragment shows.
Then I added a short delay (100-300 ms) before showing the keyboard. Now I have:
In AndroidManifest I set android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" for current activity.

Click on EditText won't show the keyboard?

I have a table whose tapping on a cell changes its content and displays some edit texts. The first of these edit texts requests the focus, but oddly when I tap on it, the keyboard doesn't show. It is when I tap the others edit texts though. What should I do? Here is how I implemented my first edit text.
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editContent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="120dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:gravity="top"
android:inputType="textMultiLine" >
</requestFocus>
</EditText>
When I don't request the focus, there is also a strange behaviour: it opens the keyboard when I tap it but my edit text loses the focus and I've to tap it again to write in it.

I found the problem, it was because of this line in the Activity block of the Manifest :
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
I changed it by :
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
Works well now.
