We Keep Coding

Getting the background image to not "squash" when one of the text input's is clicked to bring up the keyboard

So I'm a beginner to coding android and normally I'm able to find my solutions on google but I've had no luck this time. I've made an app with two activities (a login screen that also has a register button that leads to a register screen) and on the initial log in screen, clicking one of the text inputs squashes the background image, to essentially fit it into the smaller space created when the keyboard takes up some of the screen. It's pretty annoying.
Sorry for pasting such a huge block of code but as a beginner, I'm not really sure which part of this code is relevant so I've included the whole xml. Thanks!
Oh, and again - I can't stress enough that I'm a total noob - so could any answers please state crystal clear exactly what code I should be changing/including and in what file, and where abouts in that file?

Inside the Android Manifest file, try adding the following attribute for your MainActivity :
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
...
</activity>
that makes the views pan when the soft keyboard appears but the activity's window is not resized. See if that makes any difference. If resizing would work better, instead of the "adjustPan" attribute, you can add "adjustResize". Hopefully one of the two will do the trick for you.

Achieving listview with bubble like badge on item type?

I'm trying to achieve a customized ListView with every group of ListView items of the same type, there should be a button/bubble badge hovering above the first item of this group. It should look like this:
If possible I'd love to know how to switch the main bubble on the toolbar to change when the group of item type has been scrolled up and reached it.

Activity relaunch when change from portrait to landscape mode

I build two XML-files for my activity. One in the layout Folder and the other in the layout-land folder. But when I change the orientation from portrait to landscape mode the activity relaunches. And thats exactly what i not want.
Because I'm plotting in three Graphs realtime data and the plotting should continue when I turn the Screen and not being interrupted or start new in any way.
Here is the first XML file in the layout-land Folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

In the Manifest XML it Looks like this:
<activity
android:name="com.TomKun.testgraph.DruckActivity"
android:label="#string/Sensor_1"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboard|keyboardHidden">
</activity>
If i have Manifest like this with
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboard|keyboardHidden">
</activity>
Then the layout does not change when I switch from Portrait to landscape mode. BUT the activity does not relaunch. Thats the one good thing
But if I do NOT use
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|keyboard|keyboardHidden">
</activity>
the layout changes as i want but the activity is then relaunching.
So something in my implementation doesn't match.
Can anyone help me to solve this Problem?
I have seen that many people have similar Problems here on stackoverflow. But with these answers I couldn't solve my problem
Thanks in Advance!

xml layout isn't working for me

I have a lot of info to put on one xml page. Now i got what I want in the positions i want. However instead of fitting all my data on 3 key parts without running into each other, It keeps running into the next TextView. I was wondering how to have it auto adjust.

would ScrollView work better? and how would switch this from this to ScrollView.
skin is 480x800
density is high(240)

Changing to ScrollView (source):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<!-- your Button and TextView widgets -->
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
Edit:
As well as that, try changing your back button XML to this:
<Button
android:id="#+id/back_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/part_safety"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
android:text="#string/back" />
The problem was android:layout_alignParentBottom="true". The bottom ended up not going to the bottom of the page like you had before. The ScrollView cut back on the bottom of the layout.

Resize scrollview only in android

I have an android layout made like this:
--------------
| IMAGE1 |
--------------
| SCROLLVIEW |

When the keyboard pops up to input text in the scrollview's edittext, it resizes the whole application. Is there any way to keep IMAGE2 at the bottom of the screen?

This is how actually the layout is. I want to keep the green wave image at the end of the page (under the keyboard) while still resizing the ScrollView to make it usable.

add this lines in your manifest in activity tag may be this works
<activity
android:name=".DemoActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize" >
</activity>

If you want your IMAGE2 stuck at the bottom of the screen, put below code inside your activity tag in manifest.xml
<activity
.
.
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" >
</activity>
EDIT:
Try to put below tag along with the above mentioned one
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize"
Let me know if this one works for you.

The problem is that your Button is part of the ScrollView. You should pull your Button out of the ScrollView and into the parent RelativeLayout, changing the attributes as follows:
<Button
android:id="#+id/acceptButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" //keep it to the bottom of the layout
android:onClick="signup"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="#string/register" />
Then your ScrollView will also need a modification:
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/Logo"
android:layout_above="#+id/acceptButton" //make it stay above the button
>
And given that you are using android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize", this should give you the correct behavior.
EDIT: Wait, if you just want the background to stay positioned, try just setting that image as your windowBackground in your Activity theme. (e.g. add android:windowBackground="#drawable/my_background_image" to the theme that your Activity uses).
