EditText disapears when clicked after fragment transaction

Question

my EditText works perfectly fine, until you open another fragment and return back to the first one. After clicking the EditText the keyboard pops up and it looks like the soft-keyboard is pushing the content of the fragment upwards and behind the background image.

This looks something like this:

And after you opended a fragment and closed it again:

My Search Text View:

<EditText
                android:id="@+id/search_view"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="40dp"
                android:layout_marginStart="30dp"
                android:layout_marginEnd="30dp"
                android:background="@drawable/textfield"
                android:digits="@string/digits"
                android:drawableStart="@drawable/ic_search"
                android:drawablePadding="10dp"
                android:fontFamily="@font/opensans_normal"
                android:hint="@string/search"
                android:inputType="text"
                android:paddingStart="10dp"
                android:paddingEnd="10dp"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:textColor="@color/colorFont"
                android:textColorHint="@color/colorFont"
                android:textSize="15sp" />

When this method gets called the bug happens:

  fun addFilter() {
    val topicList = mutableListOf<Topic?>()
    topicAdapter = TopicAdapter(topicList, context, null, true)

    if (CachedData.filter.isNotEmpty()) {

        if (CachedData.filter[0] != null) {
            filterList.visibility = View.VISIBLE
            topicList.add(Topic(CachedData.filter[0], selected = true, clickable = true))
        }

        if (CachedData.filter[1] != null) {
            filterList.visibility = View.VISIBLE
            if (CachedData.filter[0] == null) {
                topicAdapter.setSubselect(-1)
            }
            topicList.add(Topic(CachedData.filter[1], selected = true, clickable = true))
        }
    }
    filterList.adapter = topicAdapter
    filterList.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(context, RecyclerView.HORIZONTAL, false)
}

UPDATE

This only happens when something is changed in the first Fragment. For example if I add data to the dataset from the RecylerView in the first fragment the bug happens

Share your code so people can get a better understanding of the problem. — Alif Hasnain, Oct 23 '19 at 19:39
Are you sure this wont happen before opening the second fragment? — Bertram Gilfoyle, Oct 26 '19 at 21:58

Set android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize" in the manifest.xml file for the coresponding activity.

Hide soft keyboard when opened second fragment. Use this code:

public void hideKeyboard(View view) {
        if (view != null) {
            view.clearFocus();
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) view.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    }

and call hideKeyboard() method at onPause() of first fragment like this:

@Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        if (yourEdittext!= null)
            hideKeyboard(yourEdittext);
    }

And windowSoftInputMode to your activity in manifest like this:

        <activity
            android:name=".YourActivity"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateAlwaysHidden|adjustPan">
        </activity>

Simply override method in your activity. It will automatically works in its child fragments as well...

override fun dispatchTouchEvent(ev: MotionEvent?): Boolean {
    if (currentFocus != null) {
        val imm = getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(currentFocus!!.windowToken, 0)
    }
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev)
}

Also Use the following utility functions within your Activities, Fragments to hide the soft keyboard.

fun Fragment.hideKeyboard() {
view?.let { activity?.hideKeyboard(it) }
}

fun Activity.hideKeyboard() {
hideKeyboard(currentFocus ?: View(this))
}

fun Context.hideKeyboard(view: View) {
val inputMethodManager = getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.windowToken, 0)
}

This will close the keyboard regardless of your code either in dialog fragment and/or activity etc.

Usage in Activity/Fragment:

hideKeyboard()
