Android Keyboard hides EditText

Question

When I try to write something in an EditText which is at the bottom of the screen, the soft keyboard hides the EditText. How can I resolve this issue? Below is my xml code. I'm using this in a Fragment.

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"

I have tried to resolve this issue by adding changes through code but no success.

Add this properties : android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize" to your Activity tag in AndroidManifest.xml — Haresh Chhelana, Jun 17 '14 at 11:34

@HareshChhelana I think either of adjustPan or adjustResize should be used, and not both at a time. They are contrary to each other — Shirish Herwade, Nov 27 '15 at 11:46

@RobinRoyal JFTR, adjustPan|adjustResize is NOT the same than adjustPan alone. In fact, if what other user has said later is true, you should never ever mix two adjust* states. – Fran Marzoa Nov 13 '19 at 10:59

For that you have to declared in your activity manifeast

         <activity
            android:name=".activityname"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>

@RobinRoyal may be I'm late, but(my be useful for others) use either adjustPan or adjustResize, not both at a time – Shirish Herwade Nov 27 '15 at 11:45

Don't set two "adjust..." values together as document says: The setting must be one of the values listed in the following table, or a combination of one "state..." value plus one "adjust..." value. Setting multiple values in either group — multiple "state..." values, for example — has undefined results. – EmJiHash Nov 22 '16 at 08:34

Here is simple solution for Android EditText issue of hiding behind SoftKeypad. Use the code in AndroidManifest.xml file of the project module.

<activity
        android:name="com.example.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/activity_main"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden" />

This code worked for me.
Inside the manifest file in activity tag add this attribute:

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden"

There are more such values for this attribute (android:windowSoftInputMode) which will come as recommendation list. You can check with them also.

Declare windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" in manifest.xml file

<activity
        android:name=".example"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" />

provide scroll view to the xml layout file

<RelativeLayout
         xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
         xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
         xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

         android:layout_height="match_parent"
         android:paddingBottom="16dp"
         android:paddingLeft="16dp"
         android:paddingRight="16dp"
         android:paddingTop="16dp"
         android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

<ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:fillViewport="true"
        android:isScrollContainer="false">

   // add edittext here...

 </ScrollView>

Use the below code where:

InputMethodManager ipmm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                ipmm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(url.getWindowToken(), 0);

where url in my code is:

url = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.eT_webbrowser);

or Try this:

InputMethodManager ipmm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    ipmm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(null, 0);

As another option try this: This always hides the soft input mode such that your EditText is visible

this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

@Robin Royal - If it works for you, please accept it as an answer. – Ramakishna Balla Jun 17 '14 at 12:10
I didn't get you. But, did you also try with 'null' as an option to check ? – Ramakishna Balla Jun 17 '14 at 12:13
Yes I tried it.When I click on the EditText to write something.Soft Keyboard shows but it hides the EditText.Actually EditText is not scrolling up on the Soft Keyboard.EditText stays at the bottom of the screen. – Robin Royal Jun 17 '14 at 12:17
Try this. Also edited in my answer : this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_AL‌WAYS_HIDDEN); – Ramakishna Balla – Ramakishna Balla Jun 17 '14 at 12:21

I handled that by adding ScrollView around View with EditText inside.

<ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        >
        // Other views
        <EditText ... />
</ScrollView>

Adding tags to Android Manifest didn't help me.

Put this line in your application tag:-

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan"

example:-

<application
    android:name=".application.MyApplication"
    android:allowBackup="false"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:largeHeap="true"
    android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="false"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan"
    tools:ignore="GoogleAppIndexingWarning"
    tools:replace="android:supportsRtl,android:allowBackup"

For users using adjustPan and Fullscreen below is the answer.

// Set the OnApplyWindowInsetsListener to handle window insets changes

    ViewCompat.setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener(binding.root) { view, insets ->

        // Check if the bottom inset (keyboard) is non-zero and adjust the layout accordingly

        if (insets.isVisible(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.ime())) {
// Keyboard height if you need

    //          val keyboardHeight = insets.getInsets(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.ime()).bottom
                val windowRect = Rect()
                view.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(windowRect)

        val editTextRect = Rect()
        mEditText.getGlobalVisibleRect(editTextRect)

        // Calculate the difference between the bottom of the editText and the windowRect
        val diff = editTextRect.bottom - windowRect.bottom

        if (diff > 0) {
            view.scrollBy(0, diff.plus(SET_YOUR_DESIRE_MARGIN_HERE))
        }
    } else {
        view.scrollTo(0, 0)
    }

    // Return the insets to keep the system default behavior
    insets
}

For API level 29 and below you have to set SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE in your Activity or Fragment. You can reset it in lifecycle event call back based on your need. Like below for Fragment, set it in onAttach ->

override fun onAttach(context: Context) {
        super.onAttach(context)
        if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT<Build.VERSION_CODES.R)
            requireActivity().window.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE)
    }

and reset it in onDetach.

override fun onDetach() {
        if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT<Build.VERSION_CODES.R)
            requireActivity().window.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN)
        super.onDetach()
    }

Hope this will help future users.

The solution for me was, simply, adding this to the parent layout : android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
