Try to use framlayout and xml like below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_text_message"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|center_vertical"
android:layout_marginLeft="12dp"
android:background="#null"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:hint="Enter you something"
android:inputType="textCapSentences|textMultiLine"
android:maxLength="2000"
android:maxLines="8" />
</FrameLayout>

If your using relative layout , in the edit text tag add this.
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"

Android Custom Keyboard not resizing the window Issue

Hi i am following this link for implementing CustomKeyboard. Everything was perfect except if there are number of EditTexts in my layout. The window is not resizing when the keyboard appears, say if i am trying to enter data to EditTexts which are placed on bottom gets covered by the keyboard. The solutions like adjust resize and adjust pan with the manifest are not working in this case, also i tried with putting ScrollView in layout, but not getting any solution. Please see my layout given below.

OK I got the solution. Please find the modified layout code.

Add a linearLayout as the child of main parent layout; Add a scroll View to that layout with weight 1 and add another layout to the scrollView as the container for child items like EditTexts and all. The keyboard view should be added in the same layout as the scrollView contains. I hope the solution will be helpful for someone.

Android: Ensuring EditText boxes fit horizontally across screen?

I am trying to allign 3 EditText boxes across the screen horizontally in my activity so that the user is able to enter data.
Currently the code that I am implementing doesnt allow the 3 boxes to fit on the screen. Only 1 box and half of the other are visible
How can I adjust my current code so that all 3 Edittext boxes are visible to the user?
Note: The button and textView at the bottom of the layout are also currently not visible, eventhough they should be under the 3 horizontally alligned Edittext boxes.
Current XML Layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvSearchDate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=" Enter Date to search..."
android:textSize="15dp" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etEnterSpecificyear"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="" >
</EditText>
<TextView
android:layout_width="3dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etEnterSpecificMonth"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="" >
</EditText>
<TextView
android:layout_width="3dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etEnterSpecificDay"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="" >
</EditText>
</LinearLayout>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnSearchDate"
android:layout_width="85dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="Submit"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvSearchResultsDate"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
android:maxLines="30"
android:minLines="5"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:text=" Results..."
android:textSize="15dp" />
</LinearLayout>

For each of your edittext make this:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etEnterSpecificyear"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:hint="" >
</EditText>
And delete the TextView's that are in between the EditText's

Your issue is that you are using android:ems="10" in EditText properties. This one makes the minimum width of the EditText to be exact ten "M" characters. If this is your requirement I would suggest to use android:orientation="vertical" in the parent LinearLayout. So your final layout will look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvSearchDate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=" Enter Date to search..."
android:textSize="15dp"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etEnterSpecificyear"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="">
</EditText>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etEnterSpecificMonth"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="">
</EditText>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etEnterSpecificDay"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="">
</EditText>
</LinearLayout>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnSearchDate"
android:layout_width="85dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="Submit"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvSearchResultsDate"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
android:maxLines="30"
android:minLines="5"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:text=" Results..."
android:textSize="15dp"/>
</LinearLayout>

making Multiple EditText's scroll inside scrollview

I am trying to make the edittext's scroll in case the view doesn't them all. The user should be able to scroll the edittexts when keyboard is on or off.
I have tried multiple combinations of linearLayout and ScrollView but it doesn't seem to be working.
Can someone please check what is wrong with it?

Make your ScrollView fill the viewport and match parent's height instead of wrapping content.
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">

How to allow of contents behind the soft keyboard in android?

I have a scrollview that has android:fillViewport="true" so that it fills the screen when there is no keyboard. I want to add functionality so that the scrollview doesn't change when a keyboard pops up, but rather allows you to scroll the contents up from BEHIND the keyboard. Is this possible? I don't want the keyboard to pop up and everything gets squished together. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Setting height and width of scroll view to "match_parent" is the trick here.
