Autocompletetextview dropdown behind soft keyboard in dialog fragment

Question

I have a dialog fragment in my app with an autocompletetextview in it, but the drop-down list instead of align with the soft keyboard's top, is placed behind, not giving access to some of the items.

Here is the layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center" android:padding="10dp" android:orientation="horizontal" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize"> <android.widget.AutoCompleteTextView android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/customDialogAtocompleteTextview" android:layout_weight=".7" android:layout_gravity="top" /> <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight=".3"> <Button android:id="@+id/customDialogBtOk" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Aceptar"/> <Button android:id="@+id/customDialogBtSearch" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Buscar"/> <Button android:id="@+id/customDialogBtMore" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Mas"/> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout>

So how can I make it to align with the keyboard?

Theory says that android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|adjustResize"should do this but for some reason it doesn't, so you have to do the same programmatically:

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

Aand the magic happens!!!

This suggestion doesn't work. The TextView is no longer obscured, but the dropdown is blocked also.

[update] in my case.. cause i use bottomShetDialogFragment with autocomplete inside. drop down not show cause i not set dropdownanchor for autocomplete. just add android:dropDownAnchor="@id/layout_above_this_autocomplete" and work perfect

ad news style in your style.xml

<style name="AppBottomSheetDialogTheme" parent="Theme.Design.Light.BottomSheetDialog"> <item name="bottomSheetStyle">@style/AppModalStyle</item> <item name="android:windowIsFloating">false</item> <item name="android:windowSoftInputMode">adjustResize</item> </style> <style name="AppModalStyle" parent="Widget.Design.BottomSheet.Modal"> <item name="behavior_peekHeight">400dp</item> </style>

in your bottomshetdialog framgnet. oncreate -> setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NORMAL, R.style.AppBottomSheetDialogTheme)

override fun getTheme(): Int { return R.style.AppBottomSheetDialogTheme }

Thank you sir! Spent an hour trying a dozen things and this was the solution.
