Android Toolbar moves up when keyboard appears
I'm creating a chat based UI screen where I have toolbar and recyclerview for chat messages, and reply msg layout.
Whenever edittext get focus It moves up the toolbar. Instead I would like to resize the recyclerview.
some of the stackoverflow answers suggest to place a empty scrollview below the toolbar, but It didn't work.
<activity
android:name=".PostMessageActivity"
android:label="@string/title_activity_post_message"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize"
>
</activity>
I am setting the windowSoftInputMode
to stateVisible|adjustPan
in the manifest file.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.pasonet.yokibu.PostMessageActivity"
>
<include
android:id="@+id/toolbar_home"
layout="@layout/toolbar_home"
android:elevation="5dp"
/>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</ScrollView>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="@+id/toolbar_home"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_above="@+id/add_post_layout"
>
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/post_msg_recyclerview"
>
</android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:padding="5dp"
android:id="@+id/add_post_layout"
android:background="#ffffff"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:elevation="5dp"
android:layout_margin="0pt"
>
<EditText
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/messageText"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:maxLines="4"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:background="@color/trasnperant"
android:hint="Type your message"
android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
/>
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/ic_send_black_36dp"
android:id="@+id/sendButton"
android:background="@drawable/abc_btn_default_mtrl_shape"
android:onClick="addPost"
/>
</LinearLayout>
The problem was that I was using <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
in styles.xml
To enable adjustResize
add android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
in your activity's parent layout
Or add this line in manifest. android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
If you don't want your Toolbar
to be pushed up, you shouldn't be using adjustPan
. Using adjustResize
without any other things (without adding any additional Views
) should be enough.
