EditText's hint gets cut off because my hint text is longer than one line. The editText only displays one line. How can I make the whole hint visible?

You can try
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
as referenced here
Or
You can try this
view.setHint(Html.fromHtml("<small><small><small>" +
getString(R.string.hint) + "</small></small></small>"));
as accepted answer here

Add android:inputType="textMultiLine" in your XML:
<EditText
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
style="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Small"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:autofillHints="personName"
android:background="#null"
android:hint="Enter first name"
android:maxLength="25"/>

If you have a long line of string for the hint of the eddittext you can put a new line character to the place where the new line occurs
sample:
android:hint="first line \n second line"

Try to use \n in the string.
<string name="pinhintadmin">line one \n line two </string>
or try using android:scrollHorizontally="true"

Try using
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden" in manifest
Or put your view inside a scrollview

Since I want it auto-hidden the soft keyboard when I enter this activity, so I added this into my activity:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
What is the problem with my layout xml?

use a scroll view and also add following in the activity tag in manifest file:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

Use the following code snippet in your manifest file :
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|adjustPan"

What helped me is this:
EditText et = new EditText(); //or whatever way you use to fetch the object
et.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
Hope it'll help you as well

Button need to move to top of the soft key

I have a login screen as shown in the picture.
When the soft key comes it hides the Login button. I need the button moves to the top of the soft key so that the user can click after entering the id and password.
Below is the layout......

set softinputmode to adjustpan|adjust-resize by adding following line to activity tag:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|adjustPan"
