Softkeyboad Autocorrection field overlaps EditText

So, when you open the keyboard and it overlaps the EditText you clicked into, the whole Screen moves up so the EditText is just above the Keyboard. This does work for me however as I said, it moves so it is just above the keyboard but above the keyboard is also this field for the autocorrection and this field overlaps the EditText. How can I fix this?

Preventing full screen keyboard: pull up EditText so it is visible

I have a horizontal only, full screen activity in my android app. In this activity, I need to disable full screen keyboard in some EditText elements so that the user can see the EditText while typing.
I disabled the full screen keyboard by adding following to EditText xml.
android:imeOptions="flagNoExtractUi"
When I touch the EditText for the fist time to enter text into it, the screen gets pulled up (keyboard comes up from bottom) so that EditText is visible while typing. After entering text and closing the keyboard, while the EditText is still having focus, if I touched it again to do some correction to the text entered, it doesn't get pulled up as it did before (Edit text is covered by keyboard). So I cannot see what is in the text box while typing. I'm not sure whether this is the default behavior since user has no idea what he is typing in this situation.
Is there a some way to get the screen to always pull up so it is visible?

use edittext in ScrollView and android:fillViewport="true" on the ScrollView. That's the better solution.

Show edittext when soft keyboard appear in android

I have some edittext on my layout, when I click on the edittext for filling it the softkeyboard appear and everything in fine, I can see the input and the softkeyboard but when I click on the edittexts at the bottom of the layout the softkeyboard appear and the edittext is not visible while I'm typing, I have to scroll down to see it. Is there any way to automatically scroll to the edittext so I can see when I'm typing and the softkeyboard at the same time?

You just need to add this to your activity tag in the manifest
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

Have a look at this developers blog _ On-screen Input Methods.
Summing up I guess this line should help you:
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize">

adjustPan: set the view to pan to

I have a popup that has a multi-line edit text and can appear at arbitrary position atop my application. Currently I have implemented it as a transparent activity. When the keyboard is shown over the popup, it jumps up and the current line is shown above the keyboard (I have the adjustPan flag set).
Now, I want the whole popup to go up and show above the keyboard, not only one line of text box. I was able to achieve this by moving focus to the whole layout when the EditText is focused, but then, well, the EditText loses focus, and I cannot type. Is there any other way way to do this? Or is there a way to focus a view without losing focus on another?

How to avoid the on-screen keyboard from covering the EditText in android

whenever I click on the EditText, the screen readjusts and the edittext-view moves up. But this is not enough and the soft-keyboard still covers the view to not show what a user typing.
My layout is as follows:
A listview occupying 65% of screen height, followed by an editetxt view and a button
LISTVIEW
______________________________
EDITTEXT |BUTTON
______________________________
My activity has the following flag set android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustPan"

adjustPan forces the soft keyboard to appear on top of your layout, blocking anything at the bottom. You're going to want to use adjust resize instead, which will move up your EditText and Button, and shrink the ListView. If, in landscape mode, the ListView is shrunk to the point of being unusable/pointless, consider using a fullscreen IME keyboard.

Read about something like that just recently. Is this what you are looking for?
