Difference between <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText> and <EditText>

I downloaded a code and the source is written in this format:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText/>
instead of:
<EditText/>
I tested both of them and i didn't see the difference, so I want to know if there's a difference between these two ways of declaring a widget in Android.

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText/>
Creates a Field with an EditText with more functions like show the placeholder up the edit text when you're typing in.

Only difference is: in landscape mode you can see the hint in TextInputEditText1, whereas you can't see in EditText.

Android- Change The height of EditText when softkeyboard is on

I am having an activity in fragment where there is an editbox and 3 buttons below the editbox. Please see attachment. When this activity is launched, the default state is STATE1.(Please see image). Now when the user types on the editText and when the keyboard is shown the buttons in STATE1 disappears and goes to STATE2.
but I want when the keyboard appear it sould go to STATE3 and not STATE2
I am not sure how to accomplish this. I have the height of the edittext hardcoded to some dp based on the target device. I believe this has to be changed. Can anyone help me in how to accomplish this.

Try this in manifest:
<activity
android:name=".activity.YourActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden" />
Instead of adjustResize you can also try adjustPan.
Hope this helps.

moving edit text along with soft keyboard android

I am having an comment edit text in my application. The edit text is aligned at the bottom of the screen. when edit text is focused i want to move edit text alone with soft keyboard without changing other views in layout similar to comment edit box in facebook. I tried adjustpan in manifest but it moves all views up with soft keyboard. adjustresize in manifest hides some view.please provide suggestions.

Try like this inside your Android manifest file..
<activity name="YourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize">
</activity>
or
<activity name="YourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan">
</activity>
Please also read this for ref/Clarity

Add
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
in your AndroidManifest file (in activity property)

dialog.getWindow().
setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
Its also working with out manifest file entry

How to set multiline,firstletter caps and disable suggestions on edittext

I have an edittext for reply to email. i want to give three properties for edittext like Multiline, First character caps and disable word suggestions.
I gave like this in xml...
android:inputType="textCapSentences|textVisiblePassword"
I tried in code also... etMessage.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE|InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES);
I am not able to give multiline....how can i achieve this
thanks

I found solution for this problem
Just set the following parameters in xml file..
android:inputType="textCapSentences|textVisiblePassword"
These are for setting first letter of sentence to caps and disable suggestions
and write following code in ur Activity
edittext.setSingleLine(false);

Try setting android:inputType="textMultiLine|textCapSentences|textVisiblePassword". What might be happening is that it is multiline but only one line is currently shown, in which you could say android:minLines="5" or so.

Android: How do I prevent the soft keyboard from pushing my view up?

I have a vertical sliding drawer at the bottom of my app. When the soft keyboard opens, it pushes the tab for the drawer up, so it sits atop the keyboard. I actually want it to remain at the bottom of the screen, becoming hidden when the keyboard is shown.
Anyone else run into this issue? Know how to fix it?

You can simply switch your Activity's windowSoftInputModeflag to adjustPan in your AndroidMainfest.xml file inside your activity tag.
Check the official documentation for more info.
<activity
...
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
</activity>
If your container is not changing size, then you likely have the height set to "match parent". If possible, set the parent to "Wrap Content", or a constraint layout with constraingts to top and bottom of parent.
The parent container will shrink to fit the available space, so it is likely that your content should be inside of a scolling view to prevent (depending on the phone manufacturer and the layout choosen...)
Content being smashed together
Content hanging off the screen
Content being inacccessable due to it being underneath the keyboard
even if the layout it is in is a relative or constraint layout, the content could exhibit problems 1-3.

None of the answers worked for me, but this did the trick, add this attribute to the activity tag in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity
...
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing">
</activity>

In my case, the reason the buttons got pushed up was because the view above them was a ScrollView, and it got collapsed with the buttons pushed up above the keyboard no matter what value of android:windowSoftInputMode I was setting.
I was able to avoid my bottom row of buttons getting pushed up by the soft keyboard by setting android:isScrollContainer="false" on the ScrollView that sits above the buttons.

You can try to add this attribute dynamically, by putting the following code in the onCreate method of your activity:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);
This worked for me, but that:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
didnt.

These answers here didn't help me. So I tried this:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
This worked like a charm, Now the header of my app doesn't disappear. Its smoother.

To do this programatically in a fragment you can use following code
getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);
Place this in onResume()

This one worked for me
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_NOTHING);

Just a single line to be added...
Add android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan" in required activity of your manifest file.
I just got solved :) :)

For future readers.
I wanted specific control over this issue, so this is what I did:
From a fragment or activity, hide your other views (that aren't needed while the keyboard is up), then restore them to solve this problem:
rootView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
Rect r = new Rect();
rootView.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);
int heightDiff = rootView.getRootView().getHeight() - (r.bottom - r.top);
if (heightDiff > 100) { // if more than 100 pixels, its probably a keyboard...
//ok now we know the keyboard is up...
view_one.setVisibility(View.GONE);
view_two.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}else{
//ok now we know the keyboard is down...
view_one.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
view_two.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}
});

So far the answers didn't help me as I have a button and a textInput field (side by side) below the textView which kept getting hidden by the keyboard, but this has solved my issue:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

For xamarin users add this code to Activity attribute of the MainActivity class,
WindowSoftInputMode =Android.Views.SoftInput.AdjustNothing
or you can add this code Window.SetSoftInputMode(Android.Views.SoftInput.AdjustNothing) to the OnCreate method of MainActivity class.

This was the best which worked for me
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing"
Try it!

Add following code to the 'activity' of Manifest file.
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustNothing"
This code works.

Well i have watched these answers but in my case i fell into the same issue and got refuge through a very handy and easiest solution that involves putting a very small innocent attribute in your Scrollview tag residing in your xml file. That is
android:isScrollContainer="false"
Good luck!

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);
This one is working for me.

I have solved my issue by adding
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing"
In manifest file add.
and making the Recyclerviews constraint isScrollContainer to false .
android:isScrollContainer="false"

Try to use this:
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan"

For Scroll View:
if after adding android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan" in your Android Manifest and still does not work.
It may be affected because when the keyboard appears, it will be into a scroll view and if your button/any objects is not in your scroll view then the objects will follow the keyboard and move its position.
Check out your xml where your button is and make sure it is under your scroll View bracket and not out of it.
Hope this helps out. :D

In my case I needed the keyboard to stay hidden and just after the click of the button my layout needs to be adjusted, so I just added this command in the manifest and it got super right.
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize"

When you want to hide view when open keyboard.
Add this into your Activity in manifest file
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan"

None of them worked for me, try this one
private void scrollingWhileKeyboard() {
drawerlayout.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
Rect r = new Rect();
try {
drawerlayout.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);
int screenHeight = drawerlayout.getRootView().getHeight();
int keypadHeight = screenHeight - r.bottom;
if (keypadHeight > screenHeight * 0.15) {
tabLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
} else {
tabLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
}
}
});
}

I was struggling for a while with this problem. Some of the solutions worked however some of my views where still being pushed up while others weren't... So it didn't completely solve my problem. In the end, what did the job was adding the following line of code to my manifest in the activity tag...
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan|adjustResize"
Good luck

The activity's main window will not resize to make room for the soft keyboard. Rather, the contents of the window will be automatically panned so that the current focus is never obscured by the keyboard and users can always see what they are typing.
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
This might be a better solution for what you desired.

This code may help you. Use it in your oncreate method.
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);

Include in your manifest file under activity which you want to display .But make sure not using Full screen Activity
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

#manifest in your activity:
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustPan"

There are two ways of solving this problem.
Go to the AndroidManifist.xml, and in the name of your activity, add this line
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
As in the below code, I have added to the Register Activity.
<activity android:name=".Register"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
In the second way, go to your activity, and in your onCreate method, add this code.
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);
