Adjust scrollview when keyboard is up

Question

I have an activity with a form in it. Because the form is quite long, I've used a scrollview.

The problem is that the scrollview doesn't change when the keyboard is up. The keyboard overlaps the last part of the scrollview.

How can I make sure that the keyboard is below the scrollview and the scrollview is adjusted to fit the space above it?

In the meanwhile, is there a way to make sure the buttons ‘previous’ and ‘next’ are in the keyboard as well?

In the application's manifest file, add the following to the desired <activity /> --

 android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustResize|adjustPan"

According to Android documentation using multiple 'state*' or 'adjust*' values has undefined results. You should use 'one state', 'one adjust' or 'one state and one adjust' values. – Octavian Aug 16 '13 at 10:18

You need to add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" in the AndroidManifest.xml file.

if you use fragment, you just need to use the code to control it, like below

context.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);

For ScrollView, I like to use the following soft input mode for the Activity in the AndroidManifest.xml file:

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

This works the best for me out of the other options.

Note, if you are using CoordinatorLayout, make sure you set android:fitsSystemWindows="false" to be able to make it work for "adjustResize"

The above answers are not enough!
