Description

Description: I have built a custom dialog with MaterialAlertDialogBuilder. The dialog has 2 TextInputLayouts. The problem is when I try to write something in the TextInputEditText and when the keyboard is visible, the MaterialAlertDialogBuilder shrinks in height.

Expected behavior: I want to prevent automatic resizing of MaterialAlertDialogBuilder height when the keyboard is open.

Source code: In XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="16dp"
    tools:viewBindingIgnore="true">

    <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="দোয়া"
        app:endIconMode="clear_text"
        app:shapeAppearance="@style/ShapeAppearance.App.SmallComponent"
        tools:viewBindingIgnore="true">

        <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
            android:id="@+id/doarName"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

    <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="11dp"
        android:hint="দৈনিক কতবার পাঠ করবেন?"
        app:endIconMode="clear_text"
        app:shapeAppearance="@style/ShapeAppearance.App.SmallComponent"
        tools:viewBindingIgnore="true">

        <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
            android:id="@+id/number"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:inputType="number" />

    </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

</LinearLayout>

In Kotlin:

MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(this@TosbiActivity).setView(view).setTitle("দোয়া যুক্ত করুন")
                .setPositiveButton("Apply") { dialog, _ ->

                    /*
                    ......
                     */

                    dialog.dismiss()
                }.setNegativeButton("Cancel") { dialog, _ ->
                    dialog.dismiss()
                }.show()

Research direction

Start by reproducing the dialog behavior from the provided XML layout and Kotlin MaterialAlertDialogBuilder setup with the keyboard open on Android API 33 and Material Library 1.11.0. Determine whether the height change comes from the dialog, its layout, or keyboard handling; done means the dialog preserves the intended height while text fields remain usable.
