Prevent keyboard for hidding view android

I've already made a good search on this but i never find a working solution so that's why i post here.

I have an android application where there is a TableLayout with some View in it (EditText, TextView and CheckBox).

I implemented my own keyboard so i can control the information entered by the user.

My TableLayout is in a ScrollView because the TableLayout can have many lines.

The problem i have is when my keyboard showes up, it hides the EditText focused. Usually android push the EditText up to make it visible but not in my case. How can I solve this?

I had the same problem with custom keyboard using KeyboardView and I solved it by setting item selection with short delay.

public boolean isCustomKeyboardVisible() {
return keyboardView.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE;
}

public void showCustomKeyboard() {
    if (!isCustomKeyboardVisible()) {
    keyboardView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            //Calling my custom listener
    onKeyboardVisibilityChanged.visibilityChanged(true); 
    listView.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            listView.setSelection(position);
        }
    }, 50);
}
}

public void hideCustomKeyboard() {
if (isCustomKeyboardVisible()) {
    keyboardView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    onKeyboardVisibilityChanged.visibilityChanged(false);
}
}

always have the same problem. I find out that the windowsSoftInputMode="adjustPan" or others options doesn't work with custom keyboard.

My CustomKeyboard is a class that implements a KeyboardView, link an xml to this keyboardView and has 2 methods to show or hide it...

If someone has a idea why the adjustPan doesn't work with custom keyboards, please let met know!

Have you tried to add the attribute windowSoftInputMode to your manifest file:

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

or

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

within the <activity> tag.
