24,572 PointsPosition layout view to the top
Hello everyone,
I have created a profile creation page, where user respond to a variety of questions. My issue is that when the application is loaded the layout is not display from the top. In the sense that you have to scroll up to the see the field on top. I think the issue may resolve around the edit text headline (etxheadline), where when the activity load, it seems to be focused into it.
Thanks in advance
