How can i kept the whole text visible in edittext?


I am trying to build a simple note app. And i would like to add checkbox functional.

I keep note part and checkbox recyclerview in scrollview to make it a one scrollable element. But when there are too many text in note or to many lines in checklist i can't see the whole note text. Just cant scroll to top of note. How can i fix it?

Solution

  • Use android:layout_marginTop="80dp" in LinearLayout , change as require .

    <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="80dp"
            android:orientation="vertical">
