Is there a way to make the screen scroll to allow the text field to be seen?

add this single line to your relative activity where key board cover edit text.inside onCreat()method of activity.

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

just add

android:gravity="bottom" android:paddingBottom="10dp"

change paddingBottom according to your size of edittext

I know this is old but none of the above solutions worked for me. After extensive debugging, I figured out the issue. The solution is setting the android:windowTranslucentStatus attribute to false in my styles.xml

If EditText Field is been covered by the KeyBoard Use the following code:

    EditText= findViewById(R.id.edittext)
    EditText?.getParent()?.requestChildFocus(EditText,EditText)

If you want the Cursor to be in the Focused EditText than use EditText.requestFocus() after the EditText?.getParent()?.requestChildFocus(EditText,EditText) which helps to get the focus and Cursor in the Focused EditText.

The above solution work perfectly but if you are using Fullscreen activity(translucent status bar) then these solutions might not work. so for fullscreen use this code inside your onCreate function on your Activity.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
        Window w = getWindow();
        w.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN , WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN );
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION, WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_STATUS_BAR);
    }

Example:

  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
        Window w = getWindow();
        w.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN , WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN );
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_NAVIGATION, WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_STATUS_BAR);
    }
    
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

Edit your AndroidManifest.xml

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

Add this to your root view of Layout file.

android:fitsSystemWindows="true"

That's all.

I had the same issue and searching the people said to add adjustPan, while in my case adjustResize worked.

<activity
    android:name=".YOUR.ACTIVITY"
    ...
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
/>
