Question

In Android, I have a Parent RelativeLayout.
Inside that I have, a ScrollView –> TableLayout

The TableLayout contains around 25 Form items (TextView : EditText) combination.

The issue here is, whenever the EditText is selected, the SoftInput keyboard hides the EditText and hence the user cannot view where he is typing the text.

Sample Layout file.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 android:background="#FFFFFF"
 android:gravity="fill"
 android:orientation="vertical" >

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:id="@+id/retailinfoscroller"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:layout_below="@+id/logininputtime"
 android:layout_marginTop="10dip"
 android:scrollbars="vertical" >

<TableLayout
 android:id="@+id/newstoreregtable"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 android:fadeScrollbars="true"
 android:stretchColumns="1" >

 <TableRow >

 <TextView
 android:layout_width="120dip"
 android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
 android:layout_marginBottom="5dip"
 android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
 android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
 android:gravity="right"
 android:text="@string/strretailerid"
 android:textColor="#000000"
 android:textSize="16dip" />

 <EditText
 android:id="@+id/editretailerid"
 android:layout_width="120dip"
 android:layout_height="45dip"
 android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"
 android:layout_marginRight="5dip"
 android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
 android:layout_weight="0.6"
 android:background="@drawable/edittextsample"
 android:clickable="false"
 android:cursorVisible="false"
 android:editable="false"
 android:singleLine="true" >
 </EditText>
 </TableRow>

 <TableRow></TableRow>
 </TableLayout>
 </ScrollView>
 </RelativeLayout>

Basically I just want to have my EditText visible whenever user wants to type in.

I have gone through the forum, but cannot find the fix.

Answer 1

In manifest add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" under the Activity tag..
