How To Scroll An EditText To The Very Top Of The Layout?

So I have this layout with some ChipsInput inside a scrollview and I simply want these to go to the very top when the keyboard is activated I've tried to change windowSoftInputMode

Solution 1:

You can use CoordinatorLayout as your root and NestedScrolView in it .

CoordinatorLayout as root reacts to keyboard and scrolls your layout to the top of your phone with assistant of NestedScrollView which your NestedScrollView includes your layout code .

To put the issue into perspective view

CoordinaterLayout > NestedScrolView > yourLayout

Change your layout XMl like code below

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    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.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/constraintLayout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@color/background1"
            android:focusable="true"
            android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
            android:orientation="vertical">
        <!-- rest of your layout xml code-->

    </android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
