Android keypad view is in front of the EditText when touched to edit

Question

On Image 1 I have a layout with some textview and edittext controls, when the user touches any EditText of this particular layout (other activities doesn't have this issue) the keypad appears in front of the EditText control so the user cannot see what he is writing, this is weird, image 2 shows the problem. Here is my XML:

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

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/responsavelContratadaDiarioEditar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_below="@+id/TextView71"
            android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
            android:ems="10"
            android:imeOptions="actionDone"
            android:singleLine="true" >

            <requestFocus />
        </EditText>

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/dataVistoriaDiarioEditar"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_below="@+id/responsavelContratadaDiarioEditar"
            android:text="Data da Vistoria" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/TextView81"

Ok then @crawletas you might want to consider what you can do to make your layout work as you wanted. firstly I would ask why do you need LinearLayout and RelativeLayout when you only have one child for LinearLayout? Make RelativeLayout your parent layout and try those solutions again. — madteapot, Jun 25 '14 at 15:40

Use the following attribute in your manifest file under <activity>:

        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

@crawletas have you also tried "adjustResize"? Or you may need both "adjustPan|adjustResize". – TronicZomB Jun 25 '14 at 14:55

I added this code on my onCreate() method, after setContentView and it worked :)

this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);

Cya and thanks.
