[android-developers] Pushing up views above soft keyboard

[abhi]

hi,

I am trying to push up the views in my activity whenever a soft
keyboard comes up. I have been partially successful in this, except
that certain views remain hidden behind the soft keyboard.

My XML looks like the below. I am specifying the last RelativeLayout
RL3 containing buttons with the attribute:
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" so that they stay above the
soft keyboard when it comes up. However. the scrollview SV1 which is
above the last RelativeLayout RL3 is not scrolling up completely and
so a part of the scroll view remains hidden behind the soft keyboard.
I have tried to set paddingBottom=70px but that still does not make
the scroll view go up. Any ideas why this is happening?

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:background="@drawable/bg1">

<ScrollView android:id="@+id/SV1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:paddingBottom="70dip">

            <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/RL1"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
                    [....]
                <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/RL2"
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_below="@+id/TV1" >
                     [....]
                </RelativeLayout>

            </RelativeLayout>

            <EditText android:id="@+id/RT1"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_below="@+id/RL2"/>

        </RelativeLayout>

    </ScrollView>

   <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/RL3"
        android:background="@drawable/BG4"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">

        <Button android:id="@+id/BT1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>

        <Button android:id="@+id/BT2"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>

    </RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>
