Keyboard hides EditText inside a ScrollView in android?

Question

I have nested LinearLayouts which one of them has group of vertical EditText inside a ScrollView. The problem Every time I click one of those EditText and the Keyboard in android arises half of those EditText disappear and if I write in the first Edit Text, I cannot even see it or scroll into it.

I have tried different solution mention here in Stackoverflow like adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize" but to no avail.

Here is my MainActivity.xml

 LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan to the mainfest solves the problem of EditText hiding however the scrollView doesn't work anymore. — jelmood jasser, Aug 12 '15 at 09:34

According to your problem use following in your activity manifest

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

adjustPan

The activity's main window is not resized to make room for the soft keyboard. For more information about this please visit

I build your code on my device and adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"in Manifest file helps

IN your xml file

something something

   <ScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fillViewport="true"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:id="@+id/inputform"
        >

        <LinearLayout

            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="horizontal"

            >

something something

I just searched in google "scrollview cut edittext" and answer comes up. You are a programmer, you must make things done by yourself ;)

It's your xml file fault – maciej Aug 12 '15 at 10:26
Thank you, but How to fix it ?! – jelmood jasser Aug 12 '15 at 10:51

i guess you want also make edittext only singleline so there is a parametr in xml going by the same name. – maciej Aug 12 '15 at 12:59

It happens because your buttons layout is included in the scrollview, so when the keyboard appears the buttons layout will occupy some space. You can change your layout like this:(set the windowSoftInputMode as adjustPan)

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    <LinearLayout
