Screen turns background colour when clicking on EditText inside ExpandableListView

I've been struggling to figure out this weird bug for a day and a half. Whenever I click on an EditText that is a child of an ExpandableListView, the screen gets obscured such that the user is unable to see what is being typed, as shown in the gif below: \n

I started digging into the Hierarchy View to see what could be doing this, here is a screenshot of it:
https://i.imgur.com/B4kkHv7.png
To me it looks like the Toolbar up top is extending downwards to cover the screen, which is odd because it doesnt do that on other activities that contain EditText widgets. I've checked that parent views are using "wrap_content" for height instead of "match_parent" as well, except for my DrawerLayout which must match_parent. Below is the layout code for the activity:
<!-- This DrawerLayout has two children at the root -->

I'm assuming that this is all due to the layouts, but here is the CustomExpandableListAdapter that I wrote for it just in case the answer lies in how the views are being inflated:

Any points or tips would be great. I think that this may be due to the number of views in my hierarchy (or at least a subissue of it), but I'm not sure and am relatively new to Android Development.
Thanks!

I solved the issue, simply adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing|stateHidden" caused the ActionBar to not expand to 996px when the EditText gained focus

Setting OnLongClickListeners to view in listview row intercepts onclick event of listrow

each of my listview's rows holds a number of textviews.
Each textview has singleline set to true and is truncated at the end.
If a textview is truncated, it should be longclickable by the user to open a popup or toast and print the whole text.
So here is my problem:
As soon as I add the OnLongClickListener to a textview, that is part of a row of a listView, the onItemClick method of that listView is not called anymore when the textview is clicked (not longclicked).
XML:
List row item:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/leadingText"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.2"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="35sp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="20x"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.8"
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ExpandableTextView
android:id="#+id/firstLine"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:clickable="false"
android:focusable="false"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/secondLine"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:singleLine="true"
/>
</LinearLayout>
ListView:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/root"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:divider="#android:color/transparent"
android:dividerHeight="5.0dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:focusable="true"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
Code:
Adding the onItemClickListener to my listView (this happens in a fragment, that holds my listview):
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, final View view, int position, long id) {
UIListEntry item = (UIListEntry) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
if(selectedKey != item.getId()) {
selectedKey = item.getId();
view.setSelected(true);
} else {
selectedKey = null;
view.setSelected(false);
view.setActivated(false);
}
}
});
Setting the onLongClickListener in my custom TextView ExpandableTextView
private void init() {
this.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
final ViewTreeObserver vto = getViewTreeObserver();
vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
Layout l = getLayout();
if (l != null) {
int lines = l.getLineCount();
if (lines > 0)
if (l.getEllipsisCount(lines - 1) > 0)
addLongClickListener();
}
vto.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
}
});
}
});
}
private void addLongClickListener() {
this.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
Toast t = Toast.makeText(SmlApp.getInstance().getApplicationContext(), getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
t.show();
return false;
}
});
}
Is there a way to implement an individual onLongClickListener for each textview but keep the onClickListener for the whole row, so the textview does not intercept it and the row is still selectable? Setting the onItemLongClickListener on the listView won't help me, because i don't want the whole row to be longclickable but the individual ExpandableTextView

android Wait between GridView updates

I have a GridView of TextViews, I want to iterate though each TextView, change it's background, wait for 1 second, and go to the next TextView and do the same thing.
First start off with none of the TextViews being colored
Then I want to color the first TextView
Now I want to wait for one second...
and afterwards.
And repeat with the remaining TextViews.
The problem is, MainActivity.playSoE(), the method that does updating of the grid, uses notifyDataSetChanged() to update the GridView. Which makes threading more of an issue. Everything I've tried either causes an Exception or freezes everything and skips the intermediate steps until the whole Grid is colored. I've tried using Activity.runOnUiThread(), wait(), Thread.sleep() and tried making a new Thread but none of these has worked for me. I
And to clarify, I want to be able to communicate with the rest of the app while the Grid is being colored, I don't want the entire app freezing on me.

Ultimately you should switch to using a RecyclerView with a GridLayoutManager. The RecyclerView offers very flexible methods for updating the UI. In your case, notifyItemChanged(int position) would efficiently update one single TextView. Find out more here.

You can use Handler to delay and perform your action
Edited
for(int i = 0; i < primesLE; i++) {
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
mAdapter.setPositionColor(i, 0xffff0000 + 0x100 * i);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}, 1000);
}
This will execute for 1 second and will update the data

Custom adapter for listview using pasrequery

I am trying to create a demo app where the users enter a search and destination, the data will be queried from parse.com and then the matching result will be displayed in the next screen's listview. I have followed a few tutorials but for sure haven't been able to grasp the concept concretely enough. When I enter a search query, the progress bar shows up and then the application goes back into the previous activity. I can't understand where exactly things are going wrong.
This is my mainactivity class.
public class CarpoolingActivitySearch extends ActionBarActivity {
ListView listView;
ArrayList<Travellers> travellers;
CarpoolingAdapter adapter;
protected ProgressDialog proDialog;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_carpooling_activity_search);
final EditText mSrc = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.carpooling_source);
final EditText mDst = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.destination);
Button mSubmitButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.carpooling_submit);
mSubmitButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {

I have created a custom adapter for this purpose.
public class CarpoolingAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Travellers> {
ArrayList<Travellers> travellersArrayList;
LayoutInflater vi;
int Resource;
ViewHolder holder;
Context context;
public CarpoolingAdapter(Context context, int resource, ArrayList<Travellers> objects) {
super(context, resource, objects);
vi = (LayoutInflater) context
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
Resource = resource;
travellersArrayList = objects;
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
if(convertView== null) {
convertView = vi.inflate(Resource,null);
holder = new ViewHolder();
holder.mSource = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView);
holder.mDestination = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView2);
convertView.setTag(holder);
} else {
holder = (ViewHolder)convertView.getTag();
}
holder.mSource.setText(travellersArrayList.get(position).getSource());
holder.mDestination.setText(travellersArrayList.get(position).getDestination());
return convertView;
}
static class ViewHolder {
public TextView mSource;
public TextView mDestination;
}
}
And the travellers class with a default constructor and getter/setter methods.
public class Travellers {
private String Source;
private String Destination;
public Travellers() {
}
public Travellers(String source, String destination) {
super();
Source = source;
Destination = destination;
}
public String getSource() {
return Source;
}
public void setSource(String source) {
Source = source;
}
public String getDestination() {
return Destination;
}
public void setDestination(String destination) {
Destination = destination;
}
}
The main layout file named activity_carpooling_activity_search.xml.

What should I modify to make it work appropriately? I am not getting any errors as such.

First of all, you have posted a very long code blocks where indentation is not good enough to read you code.
So what I understood, as your ParseException e is null that means there is no exception. Inside that if block, after the for loop you are calling finish() which is causing your current activity instance to be destroyed thus going to previous activity.
I hope this helps you.

How do I use the swipe gesture to remove cards within a recycleview?

How do I use the swipe gesture to remove cards from my recycle-view in the same way that it is done in Google-now etc. So far I've created the cardview application but it's removing cards via a swipe gesture which I'm having problems with. I haven't found a single tutorial or question answered on this website which could help.
Any help would be very much appreciated. My code is below.
MyActivity
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
RecyclerView recList = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.cardList);
recList.setHasFixedSize(true);
LinearLayoutManager llm = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
llm.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
recList.setLayoutManager(llm);
ContactAdapter ca = new ContactAdapter(createList(30));
recList.setAdapter(ca);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.my, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
private List<ContactInfo> createList(int size) {
List<ContactInfo> result = new ArrayList<ContactInfo>();
for (int i=1; i <= size; i++) {
ContactInfo ci = new ContactInfo();
ci.name = ContactInfo.NAME_PREFIX + i;
ci.surname = ContactInfo.SURNAME_PREFIX + i;
ci.email = ContactInfo.EMAIL_PREFIX + i + "#test.com";
result.add(ci);
}
return result;
}
}

You can use below code (ItemTouchHelper.SimpleCallback from Android support V7) to remove the cards from RecyclerView using swipe gesture
ItemTouchHelper.SimpleCallback simpleItemTouchCallback = new ItemTouchHelper.SimpleCallback(0, ItemTouchHelper.LEFT | ItemTouchHelper.RIGHT) {
#Override
public boolean onMove(RecyclerView recyclerView, RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, RecyclerView.ViewHolder target) {
return false;
}
#Override
public void onSwiped(RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int swipeDir) {
contacts.remove(viewHolder.getAdapterPosition());
ca.notifyItemRemoved(viewHolder.getAdapterPosition());
}
#Override
public void onMoved(RecyclerView recyclerView, RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, int fromPos, RecyclerView.ViewHolder target, int toPos, int x, int y) {
super.onMoved(recyclerView, viewHolder, fromPos, target, toPos, x, y);
}
};
ItemTouchHelper itemTouchHelper = new ItemTouchHelper(simpleItemTouchCallback);
itemTouchHelper.attachToRecyclerView(recList);
