Question

This is my app when the soft keyboard is hidden

But when the keyboard is shown then the edittext box on the top is gone (it is push up).

and it looks like this.

My question is how can I keep both edit-boxes visible when the keyboard is shown? I want only the space in between the edit boxes to be reduced… but both boxes to be visible

my layout so far is like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:id="@+id/relativeLayout1">
    <EditText android:id="@+id/editText1" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
        <requestFocus></requestFocus>
    </EditText>
    <EditText android:id="@+id/editText2" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent"></EditText>
    <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView1"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@id/editText1"
        android:layout_above="@id/editText2" android:background="@drawable/icon"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"></ImageView>
</RelativeLayout>

Go to your Android manifest and change the “Window soft input mode” from adjustPan, which moves the entire view, to adjustResize, which will resize the view for you.
