layout of the screen moves up when keyboard is displayed

Question

Let say I have the following layout:

when I click on the edit text at the bottom I get this:

As you can notice the image from the top goes upper and the whole layout moves. This is my xml for this layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent"

   <LinearLayout

       android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
       android:layout_alignParentTop="true"        
       android:isScrollContainer="true"
       android:background="@drawable/header" >
   </LinearLayout>

   <ScrollView
       android:layout_width="fill_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:id="@+id/scrollauthentication"

               <requestFocus />
           </EditText>

           <CheckBox
               android:id="@+id/remembercheckBox"

               android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/remembercheckBox"
               android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/remembercheckBox"

   <LinearLayout

           android:background="@color/button_selected"
           android:text="log in"
           android:textColor="@drawable/textblack_selected"
           android:textStyle="bold" >
       </Button>

       <Button
           android:id="@+id/forgotten"
           android:layout_width="wrap_content"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
           android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
           android:background="@color/button_selected"
           android:text="forgotten password"
           android:textColor="@drawable/textblack_selected"
           android:textStyle="bold" />
   </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

And I have also set this in manifest file for this activity:

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

So is there a way to stop my layout from moving when the keyboard is displayed? Thank you!!!!

I think this link will help you. [link][1] [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5516216/how-to-avoid-soft-keyboard-pushing-up-my-layout Thanks... — user4232, Jul 10 '12 at 09:27
@YogeshSomani there is nothing in there I haven't tried. and it is not working — adrian, Jul 10 '12 at 09:32
well, I have not mentioned any "windowSoftInputMode" in my app's manifest and it runs fine. Screen does not move up when the keyboard opens up. Try this approach - just remove the "windowSoftInputMode" parameter from your manifest . — Yogesh Somani, Jul 10 '12 at 09:43
@YogeshSomani it works. Post it as an answer, to accept it and upvote it — adrian, Jul 10 '12 at 10:04

Try using

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize"

for the activity.

try this for your ScrollView android:isScrollContainer="false" this may help you. – SALMAN Jul 10 '12 at 10:06
try this one also android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize|adjustPan" – SALMAN Jul 10 '12 at 10:08
Don't use adjustPan and adjustResize simultaneously, only one of them. – CoolMind Aug 13 '15 at 15:59
@CoolMind why we shouldnt use them simultaneously? – D4rWiNS Dec 17 '15 at 12:47

@D4rWiNS, sorry, I don't remember. Already tested it, and they work simultaneously, though adjustPan is enough. If I didn't forget, a problem was in a layout with a background picture - it was also resized. But I can be mistaken. – CoolMind Dec 17 '15 at 13:39
Whilst this code snippet is welcome, and may provide some help, it would be [greatly improved if it included an explanation](//meta.stackexchange.com/q/114762) of *how* and *why* this solves the problem.

My EditText kept moving up as well.

Adding gravity to the Edit Text seems to solve the problem. The Keyboard was pushing my EditText up, so I added gravity to the bottom of the Edit Text in the XML.

android:gravity=bottom

Try this, for me it worked...

<CoordinatorLayout
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
<AppBarLayout>
    <Toobar>
        <!--...-->
    </Toobar>
</AppBarLayout>
<include layout="@layout/content_main_message" /> <!--EditText here-->
</CoordinatorLayout>

I already had a windowsoftInputMode to prevent the keyboard from opening, so just add the comment code

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan|adjustResize"
