Prevent Recyclerview from resizing when keyboard is visible

Question

Most questions are asking about how to make the recyclerview resize when the soft keyboard is visible, although I want the opposite. The recyclerview already resizes when KB is visible, I tried removing android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize" but the same happens, the recyclerview always resizes. How can I achieve what I want (programmatically is preferred)

Answer 1

You could try stating an explicit size for the window your RecyclerView is embedded in, for example if it's in a AlertDialog, following AlertDialog.show() you add:

alertDialog.window!!.setLayout(width: 1000, height: 1300)
