keyboard covers half of the edit text Android

Question

I am developing an app and I found a problem that the keyboard hides the EditText Field. Upon researching i found a solution by adding this line of code in manifest file.

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

but now my edittext looks like

the emoticon icon, edit text and the SEND textview are in a Linear layout. How do i show the entire linear layout above the keyboard ??

Answer 1

i had exact same problem with adjustPan so i use this instead..

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

i hope your root layout is RelativeLayout.

UPDATE

try to set like this.

chat_ui.xml

            android:background="@drawable/input_circle_normal"
            app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_send" />

    </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

and in manifest

<activity
     android:name=".activities.ChatActivity"
     android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize"
     android:screenOrientation="portrait"
     android:theme="@style/MyMaterialTheme2" />

Answer 2

Set android:softInputMode attribute to adjustResize in Manifest and put layout(not list item layout) inside a ScrollView.
