I have a Text View below an EditText.
When I enter data into the EditText, the TextView moves up, so that it is still visible.
I mean I enter data, the keyboard comes up and the TextView moves also up.
But I don't want that, I want the TextView to stay where it is.
I am using a ConstraintLayout and I can't set the constraints tighter, because the TextView will be filled with data if I hit a button.
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
android:hint="@string/hint1"
android:importantForAutofill="no"/>
<ScrollView
android:id="@+id/scrollView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="24dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="24dp"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/button"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/emptyString" />
</ScrollView>
I found the solution, it was adding this line in the starting activity tag:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
Like this:
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Now when the keyboard appears the TextView is not moving anymore.
It is overlaid by the keyboard, but I like to have it that way rather than having moving views.
