How to scroll an EditText with listview to the very top of the layout in fragment?

How to scroll an EditText with listview to the very top of the layout when keyborad is up on focus EditText in fragment?
i desgin a custom spinner with edit text and listview and have almost five spinner in the Scrollview i want when i click on edittext then edit text and its list scroll up and full visible in the screen
what happen with me you can see on screen shot the list is not fully visible and it has fixed height.

it's so simple
you just have to place your recyclerview/listview and editTex field inside ScrollView add add android:nestedScrollingEnabled="false" in your recylcer view and you are good to go!
Sample Code:
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:fillViewport="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/top_toolbar">
<EditText
android:id="+#id/editText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/rView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:nestedScrollingEnabled="false"
android:overScrollMode="never"
app:layoutManager="androidx.recyclerview.widget.LinearLayoutManager"
tools:itemCount="5" />
</ScrollView>

How to hide ImageView

I'm trying to show an image to an imageView but I don't know how to hide the Image once the user clicks on a specific button, This is my code that I'm using
ImageView iv = findViewById(R.id.imageView);
iv.setImageResource(R.drawable.image);
and the content view XML is listed below aswell
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/hide"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hide Image" />

Finally after a brief search of google, all I needed to do was set an OnClickListener to the button and call setVisibility on the ImageView instance
iv.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Android adding image to button

I am trying to add an image to a button(image button or normal button) but not in a specific res/drawable folder.
I want this image as a ImageView object or drawable object etc, but I couldn't.

You can set an icon for Button by adding following attribute in XML for Button like this:
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/button_icon"
If you want to know how to do it programmatically, follow this article:
How to programmatically set drawableLeft on Android button?
Or just add 'background':
<Button
android:id="#+id/imageButton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/qrcode"/>
But i think it's better if you use ImageButton, see this example:
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/searchImageButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#android:drawable/your_image_drawable" />

Use ImageButton and add src in your background:
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#android:drawable/yourImageNameHere"

AlertDialog style buttons for an Activity

I have an activity with a Save and Cancel button at the bottom.
In AlertDialog, the buttons are displayed inside a styled container view of some sort.
How could I give the buttons in my Activity that same appearance? Specifically, how could I apply the style of the button container view in the AlertDialog to say a LinearLayout in my Activity containing the buttons?
Thanks

There are solutions given elsewhere that work. In short, you can simply use style attributes in your xml to achieve this. For instance, style="?android:attr/buttonBarStyle" and style="?android:attr/buttonBarButtonStyle" will do the job (for API 11+). Here is an example of two buttons horizontally put together.
<LinearLayout
style="?android:attr/buttonBarStyle"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:measureWithLargestChild="true"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingTop="0dip" >
<Button
style="?android:attr/buttonBarButtonStyle"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text= "Ok" />
<Button
style="?android:attr/buttonBarButtonStyle"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Cancel" />
</LinearLayout>
The only thing that remains, is that there is a horizontal line right above the buttons in an alertDialog, which the above code will not create. If you want to have that horizontal line, it should be added manually in the xml, above the LinearLayout. This will give you the horizontal line:
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
android:background="?android:attr/dividerVertical" />

I do some thing like this:
LinearLayout dialogLayout = (LinearLayout) ((LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE)).inflate(R.layout.dialog_addeditrecord, null);
I then use the dialogLayout to call findViewById() to pull in the buttons and other views and setup OnClickListeners and such...
then to show the dialog:
builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setView(dialogLayout);
builder.create().show();

how can i have a list of icons in my android app;

can any one suggest how can i have a list of icons like browser icon,email icon and contacts icon upon clicking on those it should lead to android browser,email and contacts apps respectively...right now i have done it, upon clicking buttons. Now i want icons(with image and text) instead of buttons...

Check this out:

This will show you had to put the images you want in res/drawable/ and then load them up as buttons in your app.

There is no widget icon.
You can do it yourself using a LinearLayout an ImageView and a TextView.
The xml should be something like this:
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/your_image"/>
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/your_icon_text"/>
</LinearLayout>

You can use Android Image Button and set its property "Clickable=true" and do the required work on its click event listener

I thought you want to have ImageButton , clicking on that you want to open particular application/browser/contact list.
ImageButton - Displays a button with an image (instead of text) that can be pressed or clicked by the user
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/ImageButton01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/icon/>
If you wants ImageButton with Background button then set android:background attribute, as below:
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/ImageButton01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/icon"
android:background="#drawable/background_image"/>

If you want an image and text in your button, the way I do it is create a 9 patch, so I can define where the text will go using the padding and stretchable areas. Then follow the same instructions as for the Custom Button already mentioned, but use a standard button, not an Image Button.
