Question

I am trying to make an application where content inside a Layout is dense. However I want functionality which will keep showing my focused EditText on top half of the screen while soft keyboard pops up…

So far my research says I have to use…

   <activity android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustUnspecified" android:name=".main">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.last.project.main" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

I have been told that (this) android:windowSoftInputMode=”adjustUnspecified” line of Manifest.xml will solve my problem, However it doesn’t seems to be working.
(I have been told means …. from this link I read http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#wsoft )

Just need to know why it is not working…Are there any other reasons which may affect my manifest XML to just ignore what I have wrote?

Do let me know if any other codes needed

Thanks heaps,

My layout XML is…

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="match_parent">

Answer 1

Problem has been solved Thank you for people who have attempted to brain strom…

answer is…We must put all layout content inside a scroll view to get this thing work!

So, In my case

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
android:layout_width="match_parent" 
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
....(All other content omitted for whole file reference same xml text inside question)
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
