Edittext's text overlapped by softkeyboard's scroll bar

I have a simple app that consists of a multiline edittext, when I try to enter some large text in the landscape mode the and press enter so that the scroll bar appears.The scroll bar overlaps the text I've entered.

How to shift the scrollbar or limit the no. of characters entered in a line so that the scroll bar doesn't overlap with the text??

Edittext in Landscape editting mode

Solution

android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay" inside the EditText in your xml will do the trick.

Happy Coding :)
