The soft keyboard covers up my EditText fields when attempting to type into the EditText.

I am using the galaxy 10.1 inch tablet.

    You need to use the windowSoftInputMode. This will allow your UI to resize when the keyboard comes up. Allowing the user to see the EditText while typing in the keyboard.

    Add this attribute in your AndroidManifest.xml to your Activity.

    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
