I have a view constrained to bottom of the parent. I also have text fields on top. how ever when the keyboard shows up, it will push bottom views up which will cover my text fields.
I have everything inside a scroll view, keyboard should cover the bottom view and I should be able to scroll to bottom to reach the bottom view.
Here is a simple example. I manually increased the height to reproduce the problem easier. I actually have more views, this is just for demonstration.
note that fillViewPort is also enabled.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/edit_text_1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="180dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/edit_text_2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="180dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/edit_text_1" />
<View
android:id="@+id/bottom_view"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="160dp"
android:background="@color/grey_500"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</ScrollView>
You just simply need to put the ScrollView
inside a ConstraintLayout
like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="180dp"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:ems="10"
android:id="@+id/edit_text_1"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>
<EditText
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="180dp"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:ems="10"
android:id="@+id/edit_text_2"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/edit_text_1"/>
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="160dp"
android:id="@+id/bottom_view"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/edit_text_2"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</ScrollView>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
