android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" is not working as it should be

Question

Even though this problem has many solutions in stackoverflow, I could not solve my problem. I have two edit texts in the screen, one on top, another is attached to bottom of the screen. Whenever I click on bottom edit text, softkey board comes over it. I already played with windowSoftInputMode.

I dont want other content of the screen to scroll up when I click on my bottom edittext.

This is my xml layout.

</RelativeLayout>

</LinearLayout>

And this my manifest xml.

    <activity
        android:name="com.task.SmsScreen"
        android:label="@string/app_name" 
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
      >        
    </activity>

Answer 1

Remove your outer Linear Layout and place everything inside a Relative Layout. And align your bottom edit text to bottom of the layout by making alignParentBottom true. And main thing "Dont do anything to the android:windowSoftInputMode." Delete that line from manifest file. Let android take default.
