Automatic scrolling when the keyboard is opened

I want the screen to automatically scroll up when the keyboard opens, so that the user can see what he has written.
The solution I found was to change the manifest and use adjustPan or adjustResize. I used both of them but it still didn't work.
Where is my mistake?
Thanks in advance.

But I am looking for the below
How can I get the second UI?

Please add this xml file it may be help full to solve your problem.
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/btnNotification"
android:text="What is your birthday"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<DatePicker
android:id="#+id/spinnerDatePicker"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:calendarViewShown="false"
android:datePickerMode="spinner"

android:spinnersShown="true" />
<Button
android:text="next"
android:layout_gravity="center"

You can use SpinnerDatePicker open source library it has UI like below
As it is open source you can change if you need.

How to lay horizontaly these views?

I want to implement the following layout:
I did it as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="LABEL"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/white"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="Text Box 1"
android:textSize="14sp"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="LABEL 2"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
android:textSize="14sp"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="BLA-1"
android:background="#color/white"
android:textSize="14sp"
/>
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:gravity="center|bottom"
android:text="and"
android:textSize="14sp"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="BLA-2"
android:background="#color/white"
android:textSize="14sp"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Basically I used LinearLayouts and gravity.
It works but it seems kind of complex and I noticed that when I increase the margins left and right of the and text the texts BLA-1 and BLA-2 get cut off.
Is there a better way for this?
I think I can not use a relative layout as I would not be able to have the views take these sizes across the screen, right?
UPDATE:
Also with my approach any kind of padding in the TextViews cuts off the text

This looks the same as on screenshot (just customize colors)
<?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="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="16dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="LABEL" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFF"
android:hint="Text Box 1"
android:padding="4dp"
android:textColorHint="#757575" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="LABEL2" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFF"
android:hint="BLA-1"
android:padding="4dp"
android:textColorHint="#757575" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
android:text="and" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFF"
android:hint="BLA-2"
android:padding="4dp"
android:textColorHint="#757575" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

I think LinearLayout is a good choise even though it is complex if you want to keep the weights.
You should change all your TextViews to wrap_content so they won't get cut off.
If you still want to avoid spaces you can wrap each TextView with a LinearLayout or FrameLayout like this:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="LABEL2" />
</LinearLayout>

Here you can get it using Linear Layout. Have a look at below xml layout exactly what you are looking for.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Views shrink when using keyboard with PercentageLayout

i have 2 different XML files. One is signup.xml the other chat.xml, both constructed with the PercentageLayout library.
the signup.xml works great - opening keyboard doesnt change any view.
However, in chat.xml whenever i pop the keyboard the view shrinks or out of screen, and i dont know why since i constructed them both nearly in the same manner, only i suspect that because i use ScrollView this happens.
The problematic layout, chat.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Use relative layout solve your shrinking layout problem I tested following layout.
Add following entry with activity tag : android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
And Your layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

<!-- top -->
<LinearLayout

Android layout inconsistency

I have a layout that is being displayed in two different layouts. First one is being displayed in a LinearLayout and it behaves as expected:
However, when this layout is part of a listview, the textview is not centered:
Here's the layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="130dp"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="5dp">
<com.parse.ParseImageView
android:id="#+id/iv"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_title"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="2.5"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:textAppearance="#android:style/TextAppearance.Holo.Medium"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:maxLines="3"
android:textStyle="bold"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="25dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingLeft="10dp">
<View
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:background="#color/blue"
android:layout_gravity="center"
/>
<View
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/gray"
android:layout_margin="7dp"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_source"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:textAppearance="#android:style/TextAppearance.Holo.Small"
android:gravity="center"/>
<View
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/gray"
android:layout_margin="7dp"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_date"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
android:textAppearance="#android:style/TextAppearance.Small"
android:gravity="center"/>
<View
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/gray"
android:layout_margin="7dp"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_fire"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_viewCount"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
android:textAppearance="#android:style/TextAppearance.Small"
android:gravity="center"/>
</LinearLayout>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="5dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/pin"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_pin"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/comment_tv"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/pin"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/pin"
android:layout_alignLeft="#id/pin"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/pin"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
The textView that I am referring to is at the bottom with id comment_tv
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Your pin+text inside a relative layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/pin"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_pin"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/comment_tv"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/pin"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp" //set this higher if you need
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" //if this text will be not in the center
//you can use the "layout_marginLeft" to put whatever you want
/>
</RelativeLayout>
This should but the text on the spot you want

I tried it with your image and this is my result with underlying code. Is this what you are looking for?
<?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="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/sample"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="12"
android:textSize="18sp" />
</LinearLayout>
And heres a snapshot of this code:
