Android keyboard hides LinerLayout

Question

I have an EditText and a button capsuled in a LinearLayout but on typing on the EditText, the keyboard on android hides the layout in spite of specifying

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

and

       <activity
        android:name=".postNavigator"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_post_navigator"

        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize">

    </activity>

Keyboard hides the EditText

            </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

I've tried adjusting the android:layout_weight and adjusting the margins and padding but nothing helps. How can i solve this ?

Did you read it - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17410499/difference-between-adjustresize-and-adjustpan-in-android ? — Divers, May 19 '15 at 16:39

android:windowSoftInputMode couldn't be something OR something, you should set here only one value. In your case I think you need adjustPan.

Btw, why are you using all that weight? It some mess in your layout. Your UI could be implemented just with simple vertically oriented LinearLayout. Also TextView inside ScrollView? Use maxLines param.

@RejoChandran Complitly relayout your UI, as I suggested and everything would be ok. – Divers May 19 '15 at 16:52
I guess the Layouts need to be worked again; Anyways android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" should push all the elements off the screen regardless of the alignment... – Rejo Chandran May 19 '15 at 17:01

Use windowSoftInputMode, like this:

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
