How to avoid the on-screen keyboard from covering the EditText in android

whenever I click on the EditText, the screen readjusts and the edittext-view moves up. But this is not enough and the soft-keyboard still covers the view to not sh开发者_运维百科ow what a user typing.

My layout is as follows:

A listview occupying 65% of screen height, followed by an editetxt view and a button

LISTVIEW


______________________________
EDITTEXT              |BUTTON 
______________________________

My activity has the following flag set android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustPan"

adjustPan forces the soft keyboard to appear on top of your layout, blocking anything at the bottom. You're going to want to use adjust resize instead, which will move up your EditText and Button, and shrink the ListView. If, in landscape mode, the ListView is shrunk to the point of being unusable/pointless, consider using a fullscreen IME keyboard.

Read about something like that just recently. Is this what you are looking for? http://www.vogella.de/blog/2010/10/25/android-windowsoftinputmode/
