                <!--android:textSize="18sp" />-->

        </RelativeLayout>
    <!--</ScrollView>-->

</RelativeLayout>

in AndroidManifest.xml , I have writtenandroid:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" against activty, still the layout is not moving up when keyboard is opened. Is there anything missing in the layout?

HI Mrugesh did you solve with my reply? if yes please accept the response. hope in any case is solved — trocchietto, Mar 23 '18 at 10:37

Where did you write windowSoftInputMode in the Manifest?

try

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

into the tag <activity> and before <intent-filter> be sure that the instruction is inside the activity you are considering when you want that the soft keyboard raises

EDIT Alternatively you can try to add in onCreate

setWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);

and also try to use this in the Manifest

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize"

I have tried it, but it is not giving me any solution – Mrugesh Mar 20 '18 at 13:37
if you get rid of ScrollView it works? try before on a less complex layout, with just a text view and add incrementally to see if works. – trocchietto Mar 20 '18 at 13:38
I have tried using simple layout. it is moving up . Now, I want to move the layout up till the end , how to do that? (I have updated the code in my question for that) – Mrugesh Mar 20 '18 at 15:02
really good Mrugesh, keep adding things, my guess is that with scrollView you could have problems, see also my EDIT above – trocchietto Mar 20 '18 at 15:56
