Soft Keyboard pushed button up above it. How to fix it?

I have ConstraintLayout with ScorllView and Button below it (attached to bottom of the screen. When I am editing EditText input inside ScrollView. Then appearing keyboard is moving my ScrollView content up (desired behaviour, so I can scroll to the end of it) but it also pushing button up (undesired behaviour).
I think I can change windowAdjustMode, maybe I could detect keyboard showing and then hide this button? But this two solutions aren't perfect.
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ScrollView
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/submitButton"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_margin="0dp">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<EditText /> goes here
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</ScrollView>
<Button
android:id="#+id/submitButton"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:text="#string/wizard_singup_step_submit_button"
style="#style/FormSubmitButton"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

This might help, haven't tried it myself, try adding the below code to your activity tag inside your manifest
Edit - added stateHidden to achieve what you're looking for, the button will be at the bottom and the elements inside the scroll view can be scrolled.
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|stateHidden"
From Android Documentation -
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.
Edit 2 - Code for calculating the height of the Keyboard
myLayout.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
Rect r = new Rect();
parent.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);
int screenHeight = parent.getRootView().getHeight();
int heightDifference = screenHeight - (r.bottom - r.top);
Log.d("Keyboard Size", "Size: " + heightDifference);
}
});
Add that heightDifference by creating a View Programmatically and setting it's height.
Edit 3 -
Use this to hide the keyboard
public static void hideKeyboardFrom(Context context, View view) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
Let me know if this works.

Android - AdjustResize won't work with external library that extends FrameLayout

I use an external library called DragListView here. This DragListView extends a FrameLayout and it contains a RecyclerView inside. The structure is like:
DragListView extends FrameLayout {
RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
}
The items populated into RecyclerView contains an EditText. With the EditText near the top of the screen (which is not covered if the soft keyboard appears) works just fine. But the one which is covered by the soft keyboard will gain focus then lose focus at once when called myEditText.requestFocus(); then the keyboard covers that EditText.
Here is the layout of my activity.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context="com.example.ui.activities.ChecklistsActivity">
<include layout="#layout/custom_action_bar"
android:id="#+id/action_bar"/>
<com.woxthebox.draglistview.DragListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="top"
android:id="#+id/recycler_view_checklists"
/>
</LinearLayout>
android:layout_gravity="top" works for me once with my old structure where the DragListView is a nested child inside a RecyclerView (I set the top gravity for the RecyclerView), but it's not working anymore in this case.
I cannot use AdjustPan because it will push my action bar away (but it works, sadly). Mine app is not in fullscreen (still able to see the status bar, I assume it's not fullscreen, correct me if I'm wrong please). I tried a few things but nothing work.
I called myEditText.setFocusable(true); and myEditText.setFocusableInTouchMode(true); just before myEditText.requestFocus();.
I put android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants" for the DragListView or the root LinearLayout.
I tried different ways of calling the keyboard to popup like
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED,0);
or with a KeyboardUtils which received the Activity for getCurrentFocus();
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(view, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
And one more thing just in case. I don't know if there's anything related to my "custom" keyboard with edtSubItemName.setImeActionLabel("Done", KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER); because I want a multiline EditText with "Done" action key. The xml of the EditText item is here:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_text_sub_checklist_item"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="#dimen/height_checklist_setting"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/height_checklist_setting"
android:inputType="text"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:maxLength="256"
android:textSize="#dimen/text_size_default"
android:visibility="invisible" />
The android:visibility="invisible" is because there's a button to press to make it visible.
I'm getting mad with it for a few days. Was I missing something? Feel free to ask for more information.
Thank you all for your valuable time.

I solved it by setting layoutManager.setStackFromEnd(true); for the layout manager before setting myDragListView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
The list then start at the last item, so I just call myDragListView.scrollToPosition(0); after setAdapter to make it back to the top like normal. The interesting thing is that the position of the items is still the same (still from top to bottom) so there's nothing much to do.
Hope this helps someone.

windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" causes problems with custom keyboard layout

I'm developing a custom keyboard and would like to add a TextView above the keyboard to show what the user already has typed or suggestions for words he could want to type.
To do that I have the following layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<android.inputmethodservice.KeyboardView
android:id="#+id/keyboard"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:keyPreviewLayout="#layout/preview"
android:keyBackground="#drawable/key_background"
android:background="#color/color_primary"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#id/keyboard"
android:padding="8dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#color/color_primary_dark"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:text="some sample text"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
and the following code at the InputMethodService:
public class FancyInputMethodService extends InputMethodService {
#Override
public View onCreateInputView() {
final RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.keyboard_layout, null);
final KeyboardView keyboardView = (KeyboardView) layout.findViewById(R.id.keyboard);
final Keyboard keyboard = new Keyboard(this, R.xml.qwerty);
keyboardView.setKeyboard(keyboard);
return layout;
}
}
At a normal EditText at the top of the screen the keyboard looks fine and works well:
But if the EditText is in an Activity which uses the flag android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" in the manifest, the keyboard view seems to cover the actual view instead of being transparent.
The left image shows the actual view with the soft keyboard closed, the image in the middle shows the weird behavior when the keyboard is open and the image on the right shows the default keyboard with the behavior I would expect.
I already tried to set the layouts background to transparent, but that didn't help.
The problem appears at several apps, e.g. WhatsApp, Hangouts, Facebook etc...Am I missing something or what's wrong?

tl;dr
You are not using InputMethodService as intended, use the CandidateView framework instead.
Full answer:
Your keyboard layout should not include the text suggestions.
Override the InputMethodService#onCreateCandidatesView. It should look like this:
public View onCreateCandidatesView() {
mYourView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.your_view, null);
return mYourView;
}
3. When you want to show/hide your candidate view use setCandidatesViewShown(boolean show)

EditText with attribute singline="true" doesn't moves up when keyboard appears

Reproduced on Nexus 7 android 4.3
Workflow:
Set focus to edit text first time - keyboard appears, EditText is
visible;
Hide Keyboard;
Set focdus to edit text second time - keyboard appears, EditText
doesn't moving up.
(EditText aligned on the bottom of the screen)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_text"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:gravity="center"
android:singleLine="true"
android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</FrameLayout>
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}
I tried this: android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" or adjustPan|adjustResize , but now effect.
Anyone knows how to resolve this issue?
Updates:
I figured out : the problem is in attribute android:singline="true"; This attribute needed to show search button, and start search after it was cliked on keyboard - otherwise shown enter button after clicking wich we going to the next line.
Q: Does Your activity using FLAG_FULLSCREEN ?
A: Yes. But without this flag still reproduced.

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

Try like this..
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY, 0);

in your manifest file under activity tag just add:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustpan"
will solve your problem!!

you can't specify textfield with type actionSearch as a single line textfield.try removing it.

try this in your manifest file, add to your activity
**
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan"

How to prevent lifting listview when keyboard goes up

This is code MainActivity java and main.xml
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/main_layout"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#75F575">
<LinearLayout
android:clickable="true"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:background="#C69817"
android:id="#+id/secondLayout">
<ListView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/mainListView1"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Java:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.mainListView1);
ArrayAdapter<String> a = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 ,
new String [] {"item1","item2"});
lv.setAdapter(a);
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
}
When keyboard is shown, listview lifting up.How to prevent this.
Without listview - all normal(layout NOT go up).
Thank you.
UPDATE QUESTION with answer to FOliveira.
Unfortunately i can't remove java code (setSoftInputMode) in my real app. Java code must be and layout with listview must NOT GO UP. Try to remove listview, and you will see the layout not moving absolutely, Why layout with listview is moving? How prevent this according my conditions?

You need to add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" to your tag in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
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.
If this option does not fit your needs, you can allways check Android documention about soft input mode

I'm using android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustNothing" , but this only for API higher 10(unfortunately).
Update:
After adding to listview this attributes:
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:isScrollContainer="false"
I'm completely solved my problem.
