Android - top layout bar is displayed when keyboard is displayed

I have a simple layout with:

• top bar (like action bar) with save and return button
• and below scroll with some EditText
  
  inside ... (check image below),

When I call the keyboard, my view clicks above ... I would like my Top Bar to remain always visible and fixed at the top ... (check below image of what is happening and what I would like to happen)

I tried several solutions with android:windowSoftInputMode

, putting the top bar as relative layout and setting isScrollContainer

to scrollview

, but none worked for me ...

Code below:

    <RelativeLayout
  android:id="@+id/llWriteCommentWall"
  style="@style/TextSubSeparator"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content">

    <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal" 
    style="@style/TextSubSeparator"
    android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/margin_separator_bottom"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true">

    <LinearLayout 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
        android:gravity="left|center_horizontal|center_vertical"
        android:orientation="horizontal" 
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/margin_title_top"
        android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/margin_title_bottom"
        android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/margin_title_left"
        android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/margin_title_right"
        >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/ivMainMenu"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:adjustViewBounds="true"  
            android:scaleType="fitCenter"  
            android:src="@drawable/tk_btn_home"
            android:onClick="clickHome"/>

    </LinearLayout>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tvSeconHeader"
        android:text="@string/title"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="2.5"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center" 
        style="@style/TextTileHealth"/>

    <LinearLayout 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
        android:gravity="right|center_horizontal" 
        android:orientation="horizontal" 
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/margin_title_top"
        android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/margin_title_bottom"
        android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/margin_title_left"
        android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/margin_title_right">
        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/ivSave"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:adjustViewBounds="true"  
            android:scaleType="fitCenter"  
            android:src="@drawable/tk_btn_tab_save"
            android:onClick="clickSave"/>

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>


<ScrollView

                            android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"/>

                        <EditText
                            android:id="@+id/et2" 
                            style="@style/TextEditBox"
                            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

                            android:layout_weight="0.33"
                            android:gravity="center"
                            android:ems="3"
                            android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"/>
                        <EditText
                            android:id="@+id/et3" 
                            style="@style/TextEditBox"
                            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
                            android:digits="0123456789."
                            android:inputType="numberDecimal"
                            android:maxLength="3"
                            android:layout_weight="0.33"
                            android:gravity="center"
                            android:ems="3"/>                   
                         </LinearLayout>    

    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

      

        
        
        
      

    

And the manifest:

    <activity
        android:name="com.example.slyzer.gui.new.NewValue"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait">
    </activity> 

      

        
        
        
      

    

EDIT:

I recently found out that when you put the activity in fullscreen mode:

this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

      

        
        
        
      

    

windows start to act differently: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5497&q=fullscreen&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars

and as described by Dianne Hackborn here , this is how it works and there seems to be no interest in changing it.

So I tried Joseph Johnson's AndroidBug5497Workaround , but I always end up with an "extra" blank panel above my keyboard, and the "View" steel doesn't show how I want it ...

Does anyone have a good / simple solution to this problem?
