Add windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" to your activity . If it is fragment, add this in your conatainer activity.

 <activity android:name="MyActivity"
 ...
 android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
 ...
</activity>

what you mean if this fragment? – CarinaMj Aug 07 '17 at 09:18
If the edit text is in the view of a fragment. Add the property to activity that contains your fragment. – Suneesh Ambatt Aug 07 '17 at 09:19
How to do this only for one fragment? – CarinaMj Aug 15 '17 at 11:50

Then add soft-input mode property programmatically in your fragment - getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN); – Suneesh Ambatt Aug 17 '17 at 04:43

Simply add this code to your Activity tag in Manifest.xml file

<activity
...
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"> 
</activity>

In your manifest,

<activity
   ..
   android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing">
</activity>

Please note, this will stop pushing the layout up and overlap the buttons when the soft keyboard is shown.
