I use EditText in a fragment which is in a constraintsLayout, but the editText do not move up when I typed more line which is more than the screen length.

I tried setting "windowSoftInputMode" to "adjustPan" and "adjustResize", tried setting "isScrollContainer" true and false.

I tried using a scrollview and set my EditText as its child. But all having same problem.

My activity is not fullscreen.

The code below is my manifest

<activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="userPortrait"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan">

and the following codes are my layout, it is in a constraints layout.

<EditText
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="textCapSentences|textAutoCorrect|textMultiLine|textWebEditText"
        android:ems="10"
        android:id="@+id/editText"
        android:imeOptions="actionSend"
        android:scrollHorizontally="false"
        android:saveEnabled="true"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/textView"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="32dp"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
        android:isScrollContainer="false"
        android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true"
        android:hint="@string/writeYourPostHere"/>

This is the appearance of my fragment before typing anything. appearance of my fragment before typing anything

This is the appearance of my fragment when I typed 20 lines of words "testing" with "line number",it did not move up and the remaining words (Testing 18, Testing 19, Testing 20) are hidden even though I am still typing the words "Testing 20". I want it to move up and show the last words I had typed.

I found the answer by using following method.

1)put the scrollview outside the constraintslayout, previously I just use the scrollview with edittext as the only child. 

<ScrollView>
    <ConstraintsLayout>
        <EditText>
        </>
    </>
</>

2) For the editText, the setting is 

android:imeOptions="flagNoExtractUi"

3) Lastly, i put this code at the onCreateView for the fragment.

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

  • Indeed you can just use getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN); to achieve panning on your edittext. You can leave constraint out of the scrollview. – Jose Hidalgo Jun 04 '18 at 08:25
