Is there a way to make the screen scroll to allow the text field to be scene?

A:
I believe that you can make it scroll by using the trackball, which might be achieved programmatically through selection methods eventually, but it's just an idea. I know that the trackball method typically works, but as for the exact way to do this and make it work from code, I do not sure.
Hope that helps.

What I think I need is for a way to make the window "artificially" longer so that the view can scroll. Currently the RelativeLayoutis set to android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"

I do not know of a solution then. Perhaps you might want to manually adjust the width and height values to suit your needs, by stretching them further to that which "wrap_content" is resolving to.

Are you asking how to control what is visible when the soft keyboard opens? You might want to play with the windowSoftInputMode. See developer docs for more discussion.

Why not try to add a ScrollView to wrap whatever it is you want to scroll. Here is how I have done it, where I actually leave a header on top which does not scroll, while the dialog widgets (in particular the EditTexts) scroll when you open soft keypad.
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/HeaderLayout" >
<!-- Here add a header or whatever will not be scrolled. -->
</LinearLayout>
<ScrollView android:id="@+id/MainForm" >
<!-- Here add your edittexts or whatever will scroll. -->
</LinearLayout>
I would typically have a LinearLayout inside the ScrollView, but that is up to you. Also, setting Scrollbar style to outsideInset helps, at least on my devices.
