Android: How to push button above soft keyboard
Order your layout like this and you will able to put button to above keyboard
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="@+id/button_next"
android:background="#0ff"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="250dp"
android:hint="Hint"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="ABC"
android:textSize="50sp"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<Button
android:id="@+id/button_next"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:text="Button Next"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
In android manifest
<application
...
>
<activity android:name=".YourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
>
</activity>
</application>
Note that, instead of RelativeLayout
, you can also use another ViewGroup
like LinearLayout
with weight, CordinatorLayout
, ...
So this is a pretty old post, but I struggled with the answers provided. Both oneavi and Intahep are correct, but let me show you EXACTLY where the android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
goes.
in Android Manifest
<activity android:name=".DataScreen" />
<activity android:name=".PauseScreen" />
<activity android:name=".RouteInfo"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"> <!--This goes in the specific activity with the button -->
</activity>
You need to set your keyboard's input mode to adjustResize
. You can do this adding the following line to your activity's attributes in the manifest:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
Here's an example of the attribute added in the activity:
<activity
android:name=".activity.MyActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
</activity>
Along with Inthathep's answer, you have to add an attribute in the parent viewgroup
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
to work it as desired. i.e, in manifest file , for the activity add
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
and eg.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dp"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true" <!-- add this -->
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<EditText
android:id="@+id/et_assetview_comment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:minHeight="80dp"
android:background="@color/white"
android:hint="Enter comments"
/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/btn_assetview_postcomment"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="POST"
/>
</LinearLayout>
