Android keyboard on top of layout

Question

I want the soft keyboard to be overtop of my layout, not move my layout around when it pops up. How do I do this? I looked in my manifest and i never set android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

Also, I have several other activities that are almost identical, but work properly.

Answer 1

I just fixed a situation with only a RecyclerView in the layout. The default behaviour was adjustResize

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing" 

did the trick

Answer 2

Its the default behaviour. You need to explicitly include android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" to make it NOT resize the window see docs
