how to make an android view scrollable when the keyboard appears?

android, android-keypad, android-layout, android-scrollview

Solution

You need to include `android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"` attribute for your activity in the AndroidManifest.xml file - and then Android should do the resizing for you automatically:

<activity android:name="..."
          ...
          android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
    ...
/>

Problem

I have a view with some fields (name, email, password, register button) : ``` <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <ViewFlipper android:id="@+id/viewflipper" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > //Layouts </ViewFlipper> </ScrollView> ``` When I focus an edittext field, the keyboard appears and is overlaying the lower fields on the view. So I can't see them when the keyboard is present. I would like to know how to make the view scrollable so that I can see the lower fields. And additionally, how to make the view scroll automatically to make the focused field visible.
