you must use ` ` as main layout. example: ``` .... ``` or use this code in AndroidManiFest.xml: ``` ```

android soft keyboard spoils layout when appears

android, android-layout, android-softkeyboard

Solution

you must use `<ScrollView>` as main layout. example:

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent">
   ....
</ScrollView>

or use this code in AndroidManiFest.xml:

<activity
     android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing">
</activity>

Problem

Here is a layout: ``` <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <FrameLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="0px" android:layout_weight="1" /> <FrameLayout android:background="#0000ff" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="0px" android:layout_weight="1" /> <FrameLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="0px" android:layout_weight="1" /> </LinearLayout> <EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" /> </RelativeLayout> ``` I want blue bar to remain intact when EditText is touched and soft keyboard appears. I.e. I want its size and position to be preserved. I tried all four possible values for my activity's parameter `android:windowSoftInputMode` in the AndroidManifest. And always my blue bar moves or shrinks on soft keyboard appearing: `android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustUnspecified"` or by default: `android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"` or `android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing"`: `android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"`: Is it ever possible to keep it the same size and position when soft keyb appears?
