android resize layout when keyboard appears

Question

I would like to reposition layout when keyboard appears, for example when editing a text field, in order to get visibility on focused field. I tried windowSoftInputMode but I cannot get any difference. How to reach it? Thank you.

<activity 
            android:name="com.xxxx.projecte1.TabBar_Activity"      
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
            android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
           />

For anyone else who might have a similar problem:

What fixed it in my case was just putting

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);

into my activity's onCreate method.

Without any xml changes whatsoever, since those did not work for me whatsoever, but this worked right away like a charm. Although an xml solution seems nicer to me, even the same parameter did not work.

Sharing it since I did not find a quick and easy fix myself online.

Thank you. Turns out if you are modifying systemUiVisibility with flag View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN, you should be using setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE) to set the flag adjustResize. Do not forget to set android:fitsSystemWindows="true" on the root layout (under scrollview if you are using one). – farhanjk Mar 10 '19 at 07:01
`SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE` is deprecated – Konstantin Konopko Mar 01 '21 at 17:35

I believe the problem is this line

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"

in your code. This line tells the Android that your Activity will handle this 3 events on its own. If you remove this line, i believe you will have the desired effect.

See here for the configChanges attribute.
