    <p>I have a simple user interface: an EditText should be located below a SurfaceView. I use a RelativeLayout to arrange these two views. </p> <p>Now, when I tap on the EditText to open the virtual keyboard the SurfaceView slides up but the EditText is hidden and does not show the typed string.</p> <p>To reproduce, use the following layout XML code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout01" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent"&gt; &lt;SurfaceView android:id="@+id/SurfaceView01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"&gt; &lt;/SurfaceView&gt; &lt;EditText android:id="@+id/EditText01" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:selectAllOnFocus="true" android:textStyle="normal" android:singleLine="true"&gt; &lt;/EditText&gt; &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>The main Activity class only needs to show the layout. When I start the program and tap the EditText, the virtual keyboard appears but the EditText field is gone.</p> <p>Maybe the RelativeLayout is causing the problems, but I don't know how to reproduce the same layout with another Layout class.</p> <p>Any suggestions are welcome, I really appreciate your help.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>Here are two screenshots, one showing the EditText at the bottom without virtual keyboard, one with virtual keyboard but with no EditText. It is interesting to note that the SurfaceView and the EditText actually shift upward, the EditText just disappears. BTW this also happens to a button if it is next to the EditText.</p> <p><a href="http://i46.tinypic.com/fqaz5.png" rel="noreferrer">EditText below a SurfaceView (left); EditText is gone (right)</a></p>

    1. COYou might consider attaching a pair of screenshots, one with the soft keyboard hidden (i.e., "normal") and one after you tap the `EditText` to bring up the keyboard. You can use DDMS to make the screenshots.

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
